Sorry if this is not the answer to your question but couldn't find the original post.
If you have Windows Vista Home Premium or up then you can access the flip navigation of the Aero feature by clicking on the highlighted icon on the bottom left hand corner of the screenshot below.
But if you are wishing to change from the Basic theme to the Aero theme then follow the instructions below...

1. Right click on the Desktop.
2. Click "Personalise" from the drop down menu.
3. Once the window opens click on "Windows Color and Appearance" and chose "Windows Aero" from the color scheme.

- the help function in Vista is alot better than previous versions of Windows so most of this information can be found in the Help and Support section of the start menu.

Hope this helps but like I said couldn't see the original post!

Aero should automatically be enabled if you have a compatible video card (which you do), and the correct drivers installed.

You dont have Home Basic do you? Because that version doesnt have Aero.
