I'm attempting to change a computer (running on Windows 7) to the new Aero theme. The only problem is it stays on classic. I've tried going to the Personalizing section and choosing the Aero but it stays on the Classic theme.

What version of Windows 7 are you using? I think the Starter and possibly the Basic SKUs don't allow you to use Aero. If you've used Aero before, then the issue is you're running an application which doesn't support Aero (the more likely situation). Simply close the application, and Aero should reactivate if it's selected in the personalization window.

Aero definately supports Aero, and should be along the lines of Ultimate in features. If you're 100% sure all the applications do (including services or background programs), then you might check that you have a working driver installed which can provide 3d acceleration. Jun 21, 2012 at 20:50

@parioscreations Go into the device manager and look at who is listed as making the driver. If it's Microsoft, then you don't have proper drivers installed. Jun 22, 2012 at 14:08
Find and fix problems with transparency and other visual effects. A dialog will come over and click next it will find the problem and fix it.
