Aero was enabled from the second Vista was installed. I didn't have to do
anything to set it up or anything. As for my video card, I have a Radeon
Xpress 200M. I have whatever the latest driver is for it. More information
about the card than that, I may not be able to provide without instructions
on how to do so. Thank you.
