| 1342776 | 2013-05-23 22:15:00 | Ok thanks! I shall try that when I get home :) | Nikit07 (16761) | ||
| 1342777 | 2013-05-24 06:15:00 | I tried doing what the post suggested but I noticed a part where it says "In the right details pane, create following Three DWORD (32-bit value) entry" I have a 64 bit system so will that make a difference? And also it says "Now Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM" But when I got into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder all I see is this: 5004 |

| 1342778 | 2013-05-24 07:47:00 | Where it says DWORD (32-bit value) use that option, don't worry that you have a 64Bit OS. You have to click on the arrows to expand out the keys -- make sure follow the path EXACTLY other wise you can do ALOT of damage. Example: 5005 Editing the registry is a dangerous business if you don't do it right, as its the whole backbone of your OS ( in simple terms) When you get the right path end, you'll have similar to this: 5006 If you get lost then STOP -- dont guess - if you need more help to enter the reg keys Either myself or someone else may be able to make up a reg file to automatically enter the settings. I cant do it tonight, I'm busy. |

| 1342779 | 2013-05-24 09:21:00 | Thanks for your help wainui! I did exactly as you and the instructions said. Went into control panel and still aero dosn't work. Restarted PC and still no aero. Guess I'm stuck with basic :/ | Nikit07 (16761) | ||
| 1342780 | 2013-05-24 09:49:00 | So you managed to enter the reg keys OK and run the commands as per the article ?? If you haven't already have a look at the link there were a couple of other suggestions as well. Can you do something please: Go into the Registry where the DWORDS ( DWM Folder) were created, take a screen shot of the complete list of all the keys that are there, ( same as the one I posted) and post it back here like the one you posted before- Lets have a look at whats there and as a comparison on a PC that has Aero working. |

| 1342782 | 2013-05-24 10:15:00 | I FIXED IT!! :D My Desktop Window session manager was disabled! Thanks for all your help though! :) Edit: Ohh yesss the aero goodness is finally back! No more of that disgusting light blue on top of my dark abstract wallpaper! ^_^ |

| 1342783 | 2013-05-24 11:52:00 | That may have happened because earlier on you mentioned you were playing around with various settings ( original post) the reg entries + commands given in the suggestion should have stopped /started it again, but if it was disabled it couldn't :) Good you got it going. |

| 1342784 | 2013-05-24 12:05:00 | I am 90% sure that the Mobo that I have is the Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H. Just take the side off your case and look at the motherboard. The model number\revision number etc and all will be silkscreened on the board in white lettering (somewhere) |
