Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit.
 
 

The Aero Theme Won't Activate...

Hi there, since about... 4 days I've switched from XP to Home Premium 32bit and I must say I'm very proud.

Anyways I went to the microsoft site and saw the key combo "start+tab" that makes the cool "Flip 3D" effect, but today I started up my PC and the "Experiance Index" showed up unrated. And with that my Aero was gone. No more glass FX no more nothing. It's all lost.

I pressed the "Refresh" button ontop of the "Experiance Index" windows and even if the scan finishes, I'm still left unrated.

With that I can't activate the Aero, because even clicking on the theme and pressing OK leaves it with the basic theme...

There is no way I can rate my experiance, because I have some devices with drivers that CAN'T run on vista, and the installed drivers must be put into compatibility mode for XP SP2...

Anyway, that shouldn't be the problem, I have a plugged in camera too, but It didn't seem to bother the experiance index when I plugged it in...

Anyways, the drivers of my printer (that don't run on vista) aren't working so well even in compatibility mode, so I may uninstall them, I have other Print & Scan programs that work on vista, but If i uninstall the drivers will it work?

P.S.
I also tried to unplug all the devices that don't have a driver yet, and refreshed the index but no effect-it's still a stupid Black & White icon that says 1.0....

Please help because I really want my Aero back
