George, the first thing you should do sweetie, is to make sure you graphic card will support Aereo Theme. I have Vista Premium, but my video card does not meet the minimum for allowing aereo. Second, is your color at 32 bit? perhaps it is set at 16 bit. Are your drivers up to date? How about your video drivers? These are things you have to check first before asking for help here i would think.If you need help with this call me, and i'll come over and check out your lappy for you. Cass :P
