    by the way. after installing vista, when i play games it feels way smoother and i owned everyone in halo. i think its because of the directx 10 that came with it. when i install programs it seems faster too

    If you installed all the necessary drivers, then run the Vista experience index(it should be located in Control panel->Performance). Then restart the system, Aero should be enabled.
