Flightsimulator X not compatible to Vista-aero?

when I start FSX, the message 'colorscheme changed to vista-basic' appears,
cause the program ist not compatible with certain visual elements in vista.
Is FSX not compatible to Vista?

my system:
Vista Ultimate
AMD Athlon X2 4200
ATI X1900XT
2 GB RAM

Thanks for any suggestion

It is compatible with Vista, it just has to disable Aero to run correctly.
It re-enables it (or it should) when the game is stopped.

Thanks for the answer.
When it just has to disable Aero to run correctly, I know that I don't have
a miss-configuration.

Aero uses a lot of video resources. FSX releases those resources so the can
be used by FSX, a very resource hungry game.
