I can't enable Aero effects on Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I'm at a loss of how to enable it. Thanks for the help! Let me know whether I could include anything else which would be helpful! Here are a few helpful screenshots...

Guaranteed fix if indeed you are using LogMein: log in either from your tablet or another computer and then log off.

I noticed my machine no longer using Aero and going through the exact process posted here. Instead of disabling the driver, I logged on from my iPad and logged back off and watched my Win 7 Ult desktop refresh with Aero functioning normally.

For whatever reason, it thinks it's rendering with that mirror driver. It's possible that simply having it installed is enough to disable Aero - it might have hooks in place all the time even though you're not actually using it, which are enough to throw Windows off.

You could disable the mirror driver in Device Manager, or entirely uninstall the remote software. Of course, this will inhibit your remote functionality, so it's a tradeoff.

You may not have performed a Windows Experience Rating test, this will always prevent you from enabling Aero.

1) start menu, rlight click on computer, go to properties.

2) Click on "this computer has not yet been rated", or "Windows Experience Index", and run the assessment, or re-run it. Since mine has been assessed, I can't describe the exact way to go if you haven't.

3) When it is complete, try Aero again.
