    Do you have upgraded memory? From another thread it is said that the default 512mb won't support Aero, but an upgrade 1.5 gb machine will.

    As far as I can tell there is no pixel shader 2.0 support nor Direct X 9 support (at least when I tried to install the Vista video driver it failed saying that hardware wasn't present), so that means no Aero 3D. Sorry.

    did you get rid of loads of vista features, apart from aero?

    what system score do you get?
