    Right, off to tell the story first.

    After a few updates of windows I believe I lost the "Aero" theme. When I got bought Vista ultimate it was on my computer but after several updates by windows it dissapeared and the theme turned normal black instead of it being dynamic.

    Then I was playing this online golf game when the game protector failed and crashed the game. It asked me if I wanted to sent the error files and so I did. I exited the game and my Aero theme was back but only to dissapear again 10 minutes later...

    Can anyone help me on this problem on how to restore the Aero theme back?

     

    Kind regards

    Try re-running the Performance test. Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools. Click the "Update my score" link.
    Never underestimate your own stupidity.

    I tried re-running the performance test and it didn't work. Any other suggestion?

    Hi MrRawr

    Thank you for Posting on Microsoft Answers.

    Please check to see if the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager Service is
    running.
    Click on Start
    In the Start Search Box type in Service and press the ENTER key
    Scroll down to Desktop Window Manager Session Manager and make sure its started and set to Automatic.

    Uninstall your video driver, and then re-install it.
