Vista Aero Problems

Hi

I have a problem with an HP TC4400 Tablet running Vista that only starts up in Classic View , I have tried disabling startup items also tried selective startup with only system services running to no effect have also tried changing to aero saving as default still no effect. Also for the properties of the start menu there is no option to change from classic view !!!

Any ideas any help would be great (been on this for the last couple of hours but at least i get to have a quick nap during every restart)

Is the Themes service running on startup?

Start -> Run -> services.msc - "Themes" should be set to Automatic and Started.

Thanks for that, Just checked and it has started and set to automatic.....

checking the obvious first, do you have a graphics card that's aero compatible and at least vista home premium installed?

After that, it's going to be down to a program or service running that's not compatible with Aero.

Its not a problem with the graphics card as i have it working on 3 or 4 other tc4400's.
