This is really bugging me!
Having recently built a new computer and installed Windows 7 I have noticed the Aero functions is not working, also the Peek at desktop is checked but greyed out.

I have a Windows Experience score of 5. I have tried tthe Aero trouble shooted and it tells me the Desktop Windows Manager is disabled, but if I look in services it is running!

Also when I look at adjusting the visual effects in the performance menu I only have 15 check boxes and enable Aero isnt there??

This is driving me insane, I have updated my drivers.

I an running a AMD Athlon II X3 435
Asus M4A77T Motherboard
Asus ATI Radeon HD 4650
2GB ram

Please help!
 
wow 18 degrees? you should move ;)

Check in the Personalization settings from right-clicking the desktop, you may be able to enable the translucent effects from there. I'm not on Win7 atm so I can't check, but I'm pretty sure if you select one of the Win7 themes it will reset the Aero settings automatically.
 
Hi
Yup 18c UK summer!! I actually tried that to no avail...

Finally found a obscure forum about Gamer OSD program causing Aero problems, uninstalled that and everything works!!!

Headache gone, now please lets have some sunshine!!!
 
Great find!

Now, 18C, that's my kinda temp specially at night, in "The Great White North".
