Important: Windows 7 Home Basic does NOT support all Windows 7 Aero features, e.g. it can’t display any transparent effects.
Windows 7 does not enable Aero by default if it can’t find any video driver that supports Aero or if your Experience Score is lower than ~3. You can easily find out if your PC supports Aero (so that you can run Aero themes, AeroPeek, AeroSnap and AeroShakre) by checking your Experience Score, for that open up the control panel and then click on “System”. The following window will popup and display your Windows Experience Score:
Troubleshooting Aero + Themes
1. Open the Control Panel and then click on “Troubleshooting”:
2. Click on “
Display Aero Desktop Effects“:
3. Follow the wizard by clicking on “Next”:
4. It will auto-detect any display problems:
It will list your current problems that may affect your display and will try to auto-repair them.
Possible problems:
The current theme does not support Aero
Desktop Window Manager is disabled
Video card doesn’t support required display settings
Color depth is too low
Transparency is disabled
Mirror drivers don’t support Aero effects
Current power settings don’t support Aero desktop effects
Themes service isn’t running
Aero effects not supported on this Windows edition
Desktop Window Manager Sessions Manager service isn’t running
The Windows Experience Index has not been computed
If Windows 7 can’t find any errors, you should try to force-enable Aero. Proceed with the instructions below.
Force Enable Aero in Windows 7
If you are using a driver that does not support the WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model ) then you have to force-enable Aero on your PC. To do that we will create a registry key to enable Aero and then restart the Desktop Window Manager Sessions Manager.
1. Open up the registry.
2. Uncollapse
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
If you can’t seem to find the key, create the key. To create a registrysubkey right-click on the Windows registry “folder” and click on “New – Key”
If you followed my other Windows 7 tutorials, you will already know how to create 32-bit registry keys.
3. We have to create 3 new DWORD (32-bit) keys:
“UseMachineCheck”, change the registry value to 0
“Blur”, change the registry value to 0
“Animations”, change the registry value to 0
