Comments on: Windows Vista Annoyance #6: Turning on Windows Aero http://blog.proud-geek.com/2007/04/22/windows-vista-annoyance-6-turning-on-windows-aero/ Taming that torrent of information Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:25:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Sheryl http://blog.proud-geek.com/2007/04/22/windows-vista-annoyance-6-turning-on-windows-aero/#comment-33279 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:53:41 +0000 http://blog.proud-geek.com/2007/04/22/windows-vista-annoyance-6-turning-on-windows-aero/#comment-33279 Ty so much for this site. i am a proud geek whos been playing with my comp for over 34 hrs trying to re-enable my windows vista aero. i stumbled across this stie and one of the posts said to try to reinstall the video drivers and it worked . i got my aero back . ty so much for this forum. so if your aero goes out try using the installation disk that came with your comp and reinstalling the drivers. becuas ei checked all area. services and themes was enabled and easy way to see if your OS has aero is to go under c/: and windows and then scroll down to resources and into themes and if aero appears you have it. this reinstall of video drivers works if a program installed compromised your visual interface and setting appearance. ty again for this site and forum.

I also tried to change my computer from from 32 bit to 16 bit and then back to 32 bit and still nothing. I even tried to download WindowsBlinds – which helped me change it back before and I can apply changes to be windows areo and it is still classic. I cannot figure out what is going on – I haven’t tried updating Java yet tho. My settings were fine until I shut down my computer and installed windows updates – then when I started up my computer it couldn’t load my profile – and it sent me to a temp profile. I’ve also tried to restart my comp and consult a downloadable program from Microsoft which said my Desktop manager was disabled (when it is not) – can anyone please help me with my problem!?! It would be of great help to me!

Everytime I try to play a game a pop up appears forcefully minimizing the window saying that Aero has stopped working. So when I try to go and fix it, Ta Da! Windows Aero is nowhere to be found so I can’t do squat about it. Further more, when i try your method of reactivating Windows Aero by going into WIndows Color and Appearace, It does not go to the screen you describe, it does to a dialouge box with different color options such as WIndows Basic, Classic, Black Contrast, etc. There are no option which you have described. If you can help me, please email me back.
