Have you rated your computer anything below 3.something will disable the aero for the graphics rating.

Right click on computer on the desktop or in the start menu then under system there will be your rating click on WEI click on update my score. For the sidebar is it still listed in the start menu/all programs/accessories? and did you have it start with windows.

Re: Vista Premium appearing in Windows Classic

the sidebar used to start with windows but no longer comes up at start up as the computer is running in windows classic and cant be reverted... i loaded up the sidebar but it comes on the right hand side of screen as perusual but its in windows classic theme and i can say the least it doesnt look attractive lol

as for the rating before hand it was 4.5 which was determined by lowest subscore, however all the others were 5.9 and 5.8... once i updated it was still the same...
