Aero just stopped working

I bought myself a new computer last week, it already had Vista Home Premium
installed on it, and it worked fine for a week. Now suddenly, all Aero
functions stopped working, the 3D flip view, the glass effects, even the
window-color functions are gone. Could someone please help me?

Right click on the desktop. Chose Personalize. Click Windows Color and
Appearance. In that widow click the blue Open Classic,,,,,,,,,,,,line at
bottom. When the dialog opens look at the list in Color Scheme and chose
aero

I tried that, but when I choose Aero, when I go back it's reset to Windows
Vista Basic.

Have you checked in the 'performance' thing what your graphics is rated as -
if it is fuzzied out, rebenchmark it by clicking on refresh.

It's at 3,4, refreshed it and it stayed the same.

Tried updating the graphics driver? what type of video card is it?

Matthew

You probably have something running blocking Aero or you
installed something that prevents it from working, Use TaskManager
to END PROCESS on suspected culprits and then try Aero. What
have you installed recently? Did you try going back to a previous
Restore Point?

You said you update to Premium so how would it go back to basic. You did get
the Prem update CD or did you just expect the updte at MS do that??

The only program I installed today is PhotoShop, which can't be causing any
problems. I rebooted and everything seems to be working again now. Thank you
all very much for trying to help me .

I would bet your Photo Shop settings were causing Aero to stop.
