    x61s w/ Vista - Can't Enable Aero when Undocked

    Howdy All,

    I'm having a small issue with my x61s, this may be a PEBKAC issue though.

    Whenever I'm docked into my Ultrabase, Aero instantly enables. However, whenever I undock or boot without the Ultrabase, Aero turns off and I can't find out how to reenable it.

    When I go to Personalize -> Color and Appearance, "Windows Aero" is not available to me.

    Does anyone have any experience with this or have an idea of what may be going on? I tried going through my Thinkvantage Display settings but couldn't find a setting for Graphics of Aero. I didn't have any problems with this until I started customizing things with the Thinkvantage interface.

    I'm thinking this is caused by Battery or Display settings but can't quite put my finger on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
