I know there are a few hacks that will enable aero on sub-par computers for the beta releases but I was hoping one of you guys would know the magic buttons to press to enable it for the release windows vista. thanks
 
Create a registry file by opening notepad and saving it with the option 'All Files' instead of "*.txt", any name you want. Then edit this file to have this:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DWM]
"UseAlternateButtons"=dword:00000000
"EnableMachineCheck"=dword:00000000
"Glass"=dword:00000001
"Metal"=dword:00000000
"ForceSoftwareD3D"=dword:00000000
"DebugMessages"=dword:00000000
"DebugZOrder"=dword:00000000
"DebugMouse"=dword:00000000
"DebugDumpTree"=dword:00000000

This will force it. Well, should do.
