    Problems...

    hi, i dont totally know whats going on here, so please bear with me. I have a graphics card that should support AERO, but for some reason, windows vista home premium thinks i dont. i can not use windows movie maker, which i used to be able to use when i was running XP on this computer, nor can i take advandage of the AERO glass themes or thumbnails in the taskbar. How do i enable my graphics card so i can do all this?

    thanks,
    -ajp

    Test installing the latest drivers for your card, the Vista installs doesn't work well...

    Vista won't enable Aero unless your system scores high enough in the Windows Experience Index.

    After you install updated video card drivers, refresh your Windows Experience Index by doing the following:

    Start Orb -> type "Performance Information and Tools" into the search/run box and hit enter -> Click "Refresh Now" to refresh your score.
