Windows vista aero glass problems

Hey,
I am using an Acer Aspire 5315 notebook...
It came with Vista HomeBasic, and I have upgraded it to HomePremium.
have also put an extra 1G of RAM in it.
It has a system rating of 2.5, and says its compatible for Aero.
I'm not too computer savvy, so I don't know any more specs of it..
Now, the problem is I can't get Aero Glass on it.
It is able to select the Aero theme, that's all fine, however it won
let me make it specifically glass...
If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :

Hi,

More critical than the ram is the video adapter. Check with Acer support to
see if the one included in your system actually supports Aero, not all do.

In Personalization, under Window Color and Appearance, does it have an
Enable Transparency checkbox? If so then enable it and you have Glass. If
the checkbox is not present there is some deficiency in your graphics card.
Might only need to have updated video drivers reinstalled if the graphics
adapter is supposed to be compatible with Aero Glass..

I might also add that you should run services.msc and check that the Windows
Theme service is enabled and running.
