Sometimes I'll be running a program that doesn't work with Aero. So then I close the program later, and I can't use the 3-D viewing of all the programs. So I right click desktop, go to personalize, and change it from Basic to Aero. I press APPLY and OK and the 3-D desktop still doesn't come up.

How do I get Aero to work back up again after using programs that don't work with it? The program specifically was a DivX video, and I already closed it.

apps like divx player and the like turn off the aero feature when in use but usually when they quit, your aero feature comes back on.

do u know if your hardware is capable of running vista with all the bells and whistles? what are your specs?
