Hi,

The Aero function is only there as an option if the video adapter supports
it. Are you certain the one with your tablet does?

yes i got the driver fixed but i think it might be gone because it was from
the start if that makes sense.

Hi,

The driver isn't the issue, it's the capability of the video adapter that
determines whether or not Aero is available for you. Check with the
manufacturer as to the system specifications. The system can be Vista
capable, but not necessarily support the advanced Aero interface which
requires 128MB of video ram with pixel shader 2.0 at 32 bits per pixel..
