Vista - Flip 3D

I can't seem to get the Flip 3D to work. When I go to personalize the color
of the desktop (like I've read) Aero is one of the options, but after I click
apply and close out, to goes back to basic. What's going on?

What is the make and model of your video card? Is it DirectX 9 compatible?

Your video card is probably not capable.

Check that your computer meets the minimum hardware requirements for running
Aero:

1-gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

1 gigabyte (GB) of random access memory (RAM)

128-megabyte (MB) graphics card

Aero also requires a DirectX 9 class graphics processor that supports a
Windows Display Driver Model Driver, Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware, and 32
bits per pixel.

For best results, you might also want to follow these graphics processor
recommendations:

64 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor with a resolution that
is less than 1,310,720 pixels (for example, a 17–inch flat panel LCD monitor
that has a 1280 × 1024 resolution)

128 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor with a resolution from
1,310,720 to 2,304,000 pixels (for example, a 21.1–inch flat panel LCD
monitor that has up to a 1600 × 1200 resolution)

256 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor with a resolution
greater than 2,304,000 pixels (for example, a 30–inch wide-screen flat panel
LCD monitor that has up to a 2560 × 1600 resolution)

Thank you
it seems that I'm a little short on the RAM I have, I guess this would be
my problem. thank you for your help
