Have you rated your computer anything below 3.something will disable the
aero for the graphics rating.

Right click on computer on the desktop or in the start menu then under
system there will be your rating click on WEI click on update my score.
For the sidebar is it still listed in the start menu/all
programs/accessories? and did you have it start with windows.

the sidebar used to start with windows but no longer comes up at start
up as the computer is running in windows classic and cant be reverted...
i loaded up the sidebar but it comes on the right hand side of screen as
perusual but its in windows classic theme and i can say the least it
doesnt look attractive lol

as for the rating before hand it was 4.5 which was determined by lowest
subscore, however all the others were 5.9 and 5.8... once i updated it
was still the same...

Aero Glass will work with a score at least as low as 2.4. My low-end
Vista Laptop self-rated that score (for the graphics, no less) and is
still able to run Aero Glass.
