If you have a WDDM capable card, by default Windows AERO should be your
default theme when you first log into Vista. If it does not, either you do
not have updated drivers installed for your video card, you don't have
minimum recommended amount of vRAM which 128 MBs. Could you give us some
info on what type video card you are using?
To enable AERO, right click the Desktop > click Personalization > Themes >
Windows AERO. If its not available but you are sure your card is supported,
the Desktop Windows Manager Session under Services (Administrative
Tools\Control Panel) has stopped.
I don't think that this is the full story - I changed the colour depth to
16bit and even after switching back to 32bit I can't turn aero back on. I've
verified that UxSms (the actual service name of 'Desktop Windows Manager
Session'), is running.
In a similar vien the relative positions of my 'extended desktop' dualview
in nVidia parlence is forgotten everytime Vista stops using the screen i.e.
powersave or power off.
There is a whole world of pain for graphics under Vista - some one needs to
take responsibility for it and sort it out.
n.b. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A100 with nVidia 7600 Go (128Mi dedicated
RAM)
