Looks like this is a performance issue, not a validation issue since it appears from your diagnostics information that your Vista is genuine. Please repost your question in the Vista pubic newsgroups, found here: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx .
Thanks!

Hi Kris
If you have been update by MS regarding your problem and if Aero has started working fine then please let me know what caused the problem and how did you solve it.

I am also having difficult with the Aero look. It was working when I first installed it (yesterday) but now I cannot get it to show in Aero.
When I go to Appearance Settings and choose 'Windows Aero' and hit okay, nothing changes. Going back in to Appearance Settings and its back on 'Windows Vista Basic'.
The other themes work fine.
Under Performance Information & Tools, I have a base score of 5.6. The 'Adjust Visual Effects' section is set to 'Adjust for best appearance' I have also tried let windows choose and custom.
Any idea what is going on?

Hi Clint,
Are you getting messages about Aero not working? Can you tell me what error code you get (if any) when you validate by clicking "Validate Windows" here: www.microsoft.com/genuine The error code will be gray and in brackets at the end of them message on the page that says validation failed. (It'll look something like this: [0xC004C000]).
Thanks!

Hi,
Im having the same problem as Clint,
I havnt had any error messangers sayin aero is disabled but when I go to my appearance settings and select "windows aero" nothing happens, it just defaults back to "windows vista basic" everytime.
When i startup windows aero seems to be active as i can see the glass-effect windows but once everythin is fully loaded aero turns off again, could it be a certain program that is causing this? Im using an ATI radeon x1300 and updated to all the latest drivers, Ive read a few reports about problems with the graphics cards.
Pleeeease help
Thanks, Mark

Hi again,
Ok ive been messing about with my pc for a while now and have finally got windows aero working
I removed programs such as quicktime and itunes from my system startup and now aero works fine, Im guessing theres problems with apple software like these and windows then automatically disables aero when they startup.
So for anyone who is havin the same problem try disabling unnecessary programs like these on startup (they can running in the background without you knowing), this can be done in "msconfig > startup", just untick the programs you dont need running....... then reboot your system and see if aero works, if it does then youll know this is the problem.
Hope this helps someone,
Mark A

I'm having the same issue. Windows Vista Business (fully activated) with all the updates installed yet no Aero. I have more than enough video RAM so I don't get it!

I am also getting this error with Vista Home Premium that I purchased from HP. The error code that I get is [0xC004C4A8]Tuesday, July 3, 2007 1:44 PM

To: Vista Validation Support - MS
Hi,
I'm also getting this message with a new work laptop, that downloaded and installed some updates last night - I keep running the Genuine Advantage Tool, which tells me I've got a valid version, yet when I run the diagnostics tool I get the following - with an "Invalid License". No it blimmin' well isn't!
I thought, Vista and Office 2007 were supposed to make me more productive? Well I'm not! I've been been fighting to get all this genuine software to work properly and have hardly done a productive days work in a week.
Do you you offer a free upgrade path to XP? At least that works. Vista does not, and neither at the moment am I.
Sort these problems out, and sort them out now.

I tried to turn on aero in my Vista Ultimate OS for two days then some guy posted he removed a couple of programs and guess what it worked.
I went to my tool tray and shut down QUICK TIME and then KODAK the CD software you get when you burn your camera chip at Wally World when I did AERO ran fine sofar.
So the quicktime running was most likely the catch. I have had problems in the past XP and ME with quicktime buggering things up I did not think of it until that guy posted.
Thanks man
aero sure is cool looking hope my computer does not crash from it or any other programs get FUBAR

I finally sorted it out. I found there were some "critical updates" that had not installed properly. I uninstalled them and re-installed them, one at a time, and finally it worked.
After that i found the machine ran like a dog - 800MB from 2GB of memory with nothing other than Vista working - and even then disabling aero. So I went the upgrade path of going to XP Pro. Now I'm flying (well, in comparison). My folks have Vista now, and want to upgrade to XP. I don't think it's a "minority" of users that MS claim are unhappy with Vista.

Try uninstalling any new software you've installed, or any windows updates since it was last "working".
Then, install again one at a time to try and figure out which one will get it to work.
To be more productive try XP.
I wasted days of work time trying to get Vista to work properly, eventually gave up and went to Xp. No problems at all there.
Good luck - I wonder if MS will offer compensation for their products not working as promised?

I bought my Laptop with Windows vista 32-bit Not basic, and I've always used the aero look until today (6 months close)
Today i used HPs recovery system, it worked great did all the normal start up stuff.
Got the the desktop i had aero on everything was working.
I had to restart my computer one more time, as it loaded (after i put in my password) a error message poped up saying you maybe victim of something.
It said i wont be able to use my computer as administer and no Aero.
Well i did what it said, and it said it was fixed.
So i went to change my desktop back to Aero, and Aero isnt even a choice.
So whats going on? it said i fixed it.
