windows 7 aero not running

[aeiou]

I'm building a new system for a friend and windows 7 refuses to run aero. I tried a hack that I found to force it but it wont turn on. The computer is plenty fast enough to run it - graphics on windows experience is 5.1 with everything else in the 7's. Ideas?

Specs-
Windows 7 home premium
amd a6-3670k (oc to 3.0ghz)
asrock a55m-hvs
8GB ddr3 1333 (512MB set for video)

If you've already run the WEI, then type aero in the Start Search field, and select 'Find and fix problems with transparency and other visual effects'.
