Have you run your Windows Experience Index?

Have you installed Stardock Deskscapes ? If yes, then too do you have Aero turned on ?

Wizard asked correctly about the Windows Experience Index because that determines if your display supports Aero.

If everything above is fine and still you're having problems......try posting a screenshot of what is happening after applying the dreams !!

gradv50 when you go to the Systems Window under Control Panel what is the rating you have for Windows Experience Index?

What OS are you running?

Look in Task Manager and see if dwm.exe is running. If not, select File>NewTask(Run) and enter it in and start the service. Do you get Aero effects on your normal desktop?

Try this...

Right click on command prompt and click "run as administator"

 

Type in net start uxsms and hit the enter key

 

Your desktop windows manager should start.
