I have been using W7 with aero for months... till now. I tried to use Remote control from my PPC and I dont know why, but Aero is now disabled. I tried to enable it by Troubleshooting, but I got "Desktop window manager is disabled" message and it cant be fixed. DWM service and process is running. I dont know what to do... (maybe problem with Live Mesh?)
 

Solution
Try this first:
To enable Aero
Click on the Start Button and in the Search box type Aero. Now click on Find and Fix problems with transparency and other visual effects.. Immediately an Aero box will pop up. Click the Advanced link and place a check in the box to automatically fix errors.
No click the Next button and you'll get a progress bar detecting problems. If the results all are checked with none of them failed, then your computer can support Aero. The Aero feature will work immediately, so just choose Close the Troubleshooter.

==========================================
This works on the 32-bit version. make sure to create a Restore Point just in case.

DWM disbaled and Aero not working

I have the same problem. I have tried all the fixes and it still doesn't work. It did fail before but after trying the fixes worked until I use Remote control of a friends PC. Now Aero wont work again. The troubleshooter always says that Aero is not supported on the current theme and that "DWM is disabled" - but that isn't true and I have stopped and started lots of times.
