I have run vista before with Aero working and did not change any of the hardware... I recently reinstalled windows vista and now the Aero UI is not working. I do not know the cause of this. Perhaps someone may enlighten me?
In order not to waste any time, I have already run the Diagnostic tool and the results are below:
