I just bought this, i was so exited then i got this message, almost everytime i try to launch it, I checked everything to somehow fix my Aero but nothing.... Please someone Help please :(

Hey,
Have you tried the built-in trouble shoot option from Windows too: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/7955/how-to-fix-no-aero-transparency-in-windows-7/ ?

You can also enable it in the theme selection directly there.

I did try to troubleshoot the Aero problem but it says there is no problem, and it will not even let me repair anything/ I try the Services.msc and supposed to start this desktop thing, but it shades over the start so i cant even start it.

[Biohazard]

Are you able to choose any glass themes or does that cause Windows to show an error too?

[Tungsten]

i can pick any Aero Themes just fine, but idk why its an errror everytime i load it

[Biohazard]

Is it possibly only an issue when you have set it to auto start?

Since you are talking about services.msc, I presume you have "high priority" enabled. Can you try to disable that and go with normal auto starting?

[Tungsten]

Can u give me Step by step on how to do that?

[Biohazard]

Click on the green button in settings/general to disable high priority again.

It also happened to me, at the same way :-/

I can´t fix it, if you have a solution, please let me know

[Biohazard]

Which Windows 7 version do you have? Did you try enabling Aero in Windows itself?

[Tinchobear]

I have Windows Ultimate 7 Service Pack 1, i saw some videos and i tried the same that the other guy

I am having the same problems and can't seem to get it to work. Anyone have a fix?

[Biohazard]

One reason your system won't allow Aero is that your display is set to less than 32 bits color.

I got it to work once before but on my computer there is only two options 16 bit and 32 bit and both dont work.

Same here, no problem with aero however everytime i start the program it says it cant run aero and then close... might have to refund since there is no fix

Did you run the troubleshooter in Windows too? Definitely set it to 32 bit though, 16 bit won't work with Aero.

It's probably disabled, even if it doesn't show errors in the Windows troubleshooter (I presume that's what you mean?). Which other applications do you have running? It's possible that another application disables it too.
