Well... rate 2 lets me suggest that you don't have a video card
fulfilling the requirements for Aero Glass, see

MY laptop rates a 2 and has integrated graphics..radeon express 200m...and it
has AERO. I dont think performance rating has much to do with it.
It DIDNT have AERO when I used the driver from ATI's site......hmmm The
driver now says Microsft WDDM next to it and is dated 24june2006. curious
since it aint the 24th yet. Curious again is gaming graphics say 256mb yet I
thought it was integrated graphics with just 128mb of shared memory....
I spent 2 days reading aobut whether this setup of mine could even run
aero..Theres a lot of conflicting info. after trying to update to the
"latest" vista drivers from ati's site..While reading the release notes for
their vista drivers...it mentioned another vista build number..other than
5384, and it never worked for me. running winsat aurora didnt get it
"automatically working" like some have mentioned. I re-installed vista and
all of a sudden it was working, and its surprisingly "zippy" just as fast
as xp pro when working with the windows, and tabs, even with aero.
This is my first laptop, replacing my overclocked AMD64 3200+ with an
overclocked nvidia/BFG 6800gt that was destroyed in a house fire. It's
supposed to be temorary till we get a new house...so since I never had a
laptop, I went kinda low end never expecting a laptop could be powerfull
enough for me....and even this low end laptop can run aero glass. While Im
sure the graphics aretn quite as stunning as a carefully set-up desktop with
gaming graphicsa...they are more than what i expected and it runs just as
fast as the XP pro that came with my laptop.
Sorry for the long ramble..There just a lot of mis-information here
regarding aero. wanted to share my story.

My PC has the amazingly low rate of 2 as well (better than the 1 it was
before I installed my new nVidia 6200 512mb !) and I can run Aero.
I didn't find it under Themes, however, it was under the Visual Appearance
section of personalization.
Good luck.

I have a rating of 2 with an Intel Intergrated video card and Aero will NOT
show on the list to use. Bummer.....
My next laptop will NOT have a intergrated video card.

Your next laptop will probably have Vista preinstalled and show the
Vista Premium logo.
