Solved aero theme on windows vista home basic

[lil domii]

everyone knows vista should have the aero theme, right? i don't. maybe it is the home basic os? i also saw on the taskbar properties that it says "show windows preview" and i have this box checked

and also no thumbnails, just the name of the window. (bottom right)

thanks for any help given
and i will help in return
getting those thumbnails will look a bit cooler than just "top sites" or a name a window.

start button > right click "computer" > should tell you which version at top of page. home basic does not have aero glass effect (you probably knew already)

hey, why does it say my thread is solved? it isn't!
why does it not show thumbnails when i have the box checked?
that has nothin to do with no aero does it?
