O.P. NO AERO with VISTA?
Hello. So I got Vista, (legally) Home Basic edition. But I was told I needed at least home preimuim for aero. So i upgraded (legally) I still didnt have it, so I upgraded to ultimate, (legally) even at ultimate i cant find aero anywwhere.

Thats what I see. Any idea why? Could it be that i have a bad graphics card? But that doesnt explain why when I searched Aero I got no results.

Its supposed to be like this:

It sounds like your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Aero.  Most older laptops (which, I seem to recall from your other posts, is what you have) wouldn't.

Anyway, the requirements are here and a few tips that may still be useful in some cases are here.  See if that helps.

Right click on the Command Prompt menu entry and select Run as Administrator.

or, if I remember right, when you run cmd from Run, you have to press Ctrl+Alt+Enter (or Ctrl+Shift+Enter) to run it granting Admin Previledges.

1/ Ensure that you have the following registry value set to :
>
> HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)
>
> HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit
> DWORD)
