In the Registry Editor, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
In the right-side pane, look for a REG_DWORD value named "Composition" (NOT
to be confused with "CompositionPolicy"). Right-click on the name
"Composition" and delete it. Then log off, and back on.
Now update your score, and also check to see if Windows Aero is selected as
the color scheme...
