But, check out what happened when I uninstalled my Synpatics driver(s).

Cool - Your welcome

Aero is an interface built into vista that works only on advanced hardware. it sports the new aero glass UI and also has a really cool flip and my personal fav...flip 3d. To run it you need a video card with ample memory and that supports wddm drivers. Hope this works!!

You'll know if your Video Card can support aero if you have atleast a minimum of 128MB RAM, 256 Recomended, 512MB if you have 768MB RAM, and it supports Direct X9 - 9.c, or if you have the Geforece 8800, you'll automatically know that it's going to run aero max settings, and every single app on any version of Windows Vista.

If you have 256MB VRAM, I suggest you must have minimum of 1GB RAM
If you have 512MB VRAM, I suggest you must have a minimum of 768MB RAM
If you have 126MB VRAM, I suggest you must have a minimum of 1GB Ram, though Aero will run faster with more then 1GB RAM, Lets say like a stick of 1GB and a stick of 512MB, or 2 sticks of 1GB.
