    Im having trouble getting my r2 back to looking like it should. so far so good except for the aero theme. Its not there at all and I can't seem to figure out why. Specs are in sig i have video drivers 8.763.0.0 installed and xfire is on not the igp.

    I use searchbar to search 'aero' and I see the repair aero theme option but it comes up as unable to work. Running out of ideas here :(
