Hi,
I have been searching the net for this and have found out that on many sites like this have provided a small registry hack to enable aero in Vista home basic. As it was clear on the net, it worked with some people but it didn't with others. i want somebody(preferably the geek) to write a post or article about the fool-proof method for doing that

abhs. If it works for some people and not others, I suspect there is no "fool-proof" way of doing it!

it worked for me though and my pc is just 4 months old

it is not good solution to doing hack your vista home.
becuase when you are updating,microsoft detect it and may suspend your key for sure.
only buy vista ultimate.

jmcguire, It may be possible that MS operates differently in different parts of the world - for whatever reasons that the local system has dreamt up. Just think of the operational restrictions that were levied on the internet operators in China.

Microsoft typically doesn't really care if you are registry hacking or theme hacking, as long as you aren't distributing files that only exist as part of a more expensive version or product. That goes for any corner of the world.

@Geek, yes and no. The T's&C's and the EULA can vary from country to country - I remember that very well from the computer business I was in. And what do we know how MS does business in the posters country. Also think of the US imposed export restrictions and the implications that could have.
