Each area of your system's graphics performance are rated resulting in a score that's displayed in the applet. BEFORE re-initalising (refreshing) the system the Graphics score might be shown as 1, afterwards it may be higher allowing Aero Glass to work.

Too late I guess Kista. I think when you install perhaps you are defaulting to the Windows basic.them (in"Themes") If you had changed it back to the Vista theme you may have got lucky.

Firstly grab the new nvidia driver from here:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/licens...ional_whql.exe

That may help with the vga device. The aero issue is probablyu because you have 512mb of RAM? If so there is a simple regedit you can do which is described here:

1)Run regedit and navigate to the following path: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\

2)Set Composition to 1 (32-bit DWORD)

3)Set CompositionPolicy to 2 (32-bit DWORD)

4)Restart DWM by opening the command prompt with administrative privileges:
Type net stop uxsms
Type net start uxsms

Hope that helps!
