I have Vista Home Premium and I can't figure out how to activate the Aero
feature. I have searched the display settings and the control panel but to
no avail. I have a feeling that its right under my nose and I keep
overlooking it. Could somebody please enlighten me? Thanks.

================================
Maybe Aero is turned off...Windows may
do this if memory is low.

To turn Aero on...right click your Desktop
and choose...Personalize / Window Color
and Appearance / Open classic appearance
Options for more color choices...

Select...Windows Aero / Apply / OK.

How do I enable or
disable Aero effects?

My system is new and meets all of Aero's requirements. I finally found the
Aero option and turned it on, along with the Vista theme. I now have the
glass windows, but how do I get my open windows arranged like a rolodex the
way they are in the Vista ads?

The first question would be, "Is your system Aero capable?" If it is not,
you'll never find the option to turn it on. What kind of video card do
you have?
