Windows Vista How to add aero in vista basic?

Hi! Quite possible.... Does not upgrade to a Home Premium. Windows won't give the same rights, however, you do get the areo feature. http://winvistaforums.com/windows-vista-customization/12195-tips-tricks-enabling-aero-glass-without--suppoeted-graphics-card.html

 

1. Disable UAC

2. From the Start button, type REGEDIT into the Search box, then press Enter to launch the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)

3. Locate the following key in the registry:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERHKEY_CURRENT_USERHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

4. Modify the following value (REG_DWORD): Composition Change the existing value to 1

5. Modify the following value (REG_DWORD): CompositionPolicy Change the existing value to 2

6. Close Registry Editor

7. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator

8. In the Command Prompt window, type:

Code:

net stop uxsms

9. Wait for the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service to stop, and do not close the command prompt yet

10. In the Command Prompt window, type:

Code:

net start uxsms

Now wait for the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service to start. Reboot your PC. Go to Control Panel > Personalize > Themes > Aero should be in there.

Enjoy !
