In the Start Search box of the Start Menu, type services.msc. Is the
Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service set to be Automatic at
startup? If it's not, set it that way, and then restart your computer.
If Aero still doesn't work, go to this key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
In the right-hand pane, is there a value called "Composition" (without
quotes) under the Name column? Note this NOT the value name
"CompositionPolicy" (without quotes). If so, what is it's value for
"Composition" under the Data column? What is the value Data for
"CompositionPolicy"?
