Make sure that your display driver color settings are set to 32 bit and NOT 16 bit. Aero will not show on the list until you do that.

I’m running Vista Business, meet all the reqs and still can’t run it…. By any chance is this because I did a “In-Place Upgrade”. I’ve already given the card shared system memory but it won’t pick it up. Funny thing is, I don’t have the Windows Aero color scheme at all, is it possible because of low graphics memory on a Full HD Resolution (1920 x 1080) at 75hz???

Decent overview of Aero, though it won’t help troubleshoot the various issues that can come up when trying to enable it.

I once had a motherboard, Radeon Xpress 200, with an integrated X300, with DirectX 9, and only 32 MB of video RAM. To my surprise, Aero worked, even though I know that it shouldn’t have.

One other thing – if you are NOT running SP1, having Windows Genuine Advantage (ie. antipiracy) authentication fail on an activated copy (e.g. when you go to Microsoft to download software and get the authenticity check) will disable Aero. This behaviour is no longer present in SP1, though.
