@Rob’s (Sep ‘03) instructions worked for me. I have Windows Vista Ultimate and added a second (dual) screen which turned off Aero. In the ‘Display settings’ I had both monitors on 32-bit and in ‘Appearance settings’ the Color scheme was set to Windows Aero – but Aero was still turned off. To get it working again I followed @Rob’s instructions and changed both monitors to 16-bit on the ‘Display settings’ and clicked ‘OK’. I then put both monitors back to 32-bit and clicked ‘OK’. If this does not get Aero working, in the ‘Appearance settings’ try switching the color scheme to ‘Windows Vista Basic’ and back to ‘Windows Aero’.

Thank you so much, windows just changed to windows basic and would go back, some how windows changed a few setting, like it was on 16bit so i had to change it back to 32bit etc, an you gave me the last piece of the jigsaw :)

Thanks again dude.
