My video card supports Windows AERO Glass but its not available and I cannot turn it on, are there any workarounds?
Again, this might be result of your video card not being Direct X 9 compatible or the system RAM is not enough to run it. Microsoft it seems has recently implemented an artificial system requirement for systems with 512 MB or less with slower cards. For instance, one of my systems running Vista has a 128 MB AGP video card with 512 MBs of RAM but I only get the AERO Basic experience. Fortunately I am able to work around this to get the Glass effects but, I only get Glass in my Standard Administrator account. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > right click the Run command > click type REGEDIT Ensure that you have the following registry value set to: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD) 2/ Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges – Type ‘net stop uxsms’ – Then ‘net start uxsms’ If none of the above work, you might need to refresh your Window
