Aero On Vista Basic?

[adrian2055]

Hey Guys

I was wondering how it's possible to get aero enabled on vista home basic. I've seen several laptops with home basic that have aero enabled. I didn't think this was possible even with a videocard that met requirements to run aero. How is that possible?

they use a hacked theme (msstyle) file.

only problem is, it only enables "partial" Aero support on Vista basic.

I know from actual experience since I do have a Dell Inspiron laptop with pre-installed Vista Home basic edition.

Important quote from the WinVistaClub page:

NOTE: It is not possible to enable full Vista Glass Effect on Windows Vista Home Basic by any means

sure, you'll get some Aero support on Vista basic with those tips/hacks, except for the Aero "Glass" feature.
