i have a RADEON X800GT Graphics Card

Can anyone here confirm whether or not Microsoft have pulled Aero and Flip 3D from this version and the ability of playing Windows Games ? When Vista starts for the first time i see the Aero but then it gets Disabled as soon as the Welcome screen pops up or any other window. If it is not the case with Aero being pulled then is there a way to force Aero to start? all my hardware is fine apart from the sound drivers. RealTek AC97 Audio which ive not been able to grab yet. I do really want my Aero
