Windows Basic is not Aero capable. You would need to upgrade
to another edition of Vista in order to have Vista Aero.

Vista Home Basic only includes a very Basic version of the Aero theme,
without the glass effect, mainly because hardware capable of running Vista
Home Basic might not be capable of running the full Aero settings. You need
to upgrade to at least Vista Home Premium, but first you need to be certain
your computer can run it.

The registry hack is the only way to do other than upgrade to a version
which includes Aero, it so if it didn't work for you then you did something
wrong..

Aero is only available in versions other than Home Basic. The registry hack
is something that allows a PC that doesn't meet the hardware specs to use
aero, but the software does support it.

About the only way to get it to work is to upgrade to a different version of
Vista.

You avoid the first three parts of the marketing machine if you do your job
as a customer and know what you're buying before you buy. Generally this
entails either reading the back of the box, or going on the Microsoft website.

It's not hard. You just need basic reading and comprehension abilities.

I looked into the registry hack that has been published, and apparently it
doesn't work. I believe the hack was first worked by somebody when the lost
Aero capability in Ultimate edition, and it was assumed, wrongly, that the
hack would work in ALL editions..
