There's no way that computer runs Aero.

Why do you think it wouldnt run Win7? It has the same requirements as Xp. Aero is another factor but, some netbooks for sale have Vista/Win7 pre-installed. And I dont think they would install Vista/Win7 w/o the ability to run Aero.

Not sure if I should bump or make a new thread, but I found this interesting... Acer's latest Aspire 250 comes loaded with Windows 7 Starter. Specs remain the same (N270, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD). Darn thing didn't even have Aero (lacking in Starter addition I guess?)

it might be the driver if you can't run aero. I'm not sure but it might need a update to your driver. you might have to download the latest update for your graphics card. I'm no expert so I don't know. Did you install it on top of your previous OS or did you format and install or something?

My buddy ran it on his Mini 9 and it worked fine.

As stated, no Aero.
