Windows Aero

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate and my switch between screen feature is not
working properly. I have dicovered that Windows Aero is not in the Color
Scheme as a selection. How can I activate that feature to include Windows
Aero in the color scheme?

Thanks

In the mean time, your only option is to use Alt-Tab to cycle between
programs (you probably knew that already).

Which brings us to the next questions: Did you install the most recent ATI
drivers and the Catalyst software? Did you rerun the Windows Experience
Index test afterwards. And what ATI graphics card do you have?

ATI Catalyst driver and software download:

Yes this is the results.

You should tell us the exact model of your video card. It may not support
Aero.

I think this is the video card "ATI MOBILITY RADEON Xpress 200 Series"

Then I think Colin may be right. The graphics scores are so low, your
graphics card probably does not meet Aero hardware requirements.

Tell us what card it is, or just take a look at ATI's support site for
yourself to find out.
