How to turn off Aero in Vista

Vista

So you installed Vista in all its glory. Basked in its newly redesigned Control Panel. Felt the raw surge of power running though your spine when clicking the newly redesigned Start Button.

Aero is one of the new features in some versions of Vista. Most of its features are cool and good at first, but if you are like me you realize that they do not really increase your productivity as promised and don't want to waste the system resources used to run them. Plus some programs such as Macromedia Fireworks don't work with Aero and when run you get a message telling you that all your cool feature have been turned off for the meantime.

In order to turn off the Aero feature you first have to spend some time looking for what you want. I have already done that for you so all you have to do is follow my directions.

Open your control panel and click 'Change the color scheme' then select 'Windows Vista Basic' or any other scheme to your liking. It really is that simple.

That was a wonderful tip that worked until I got this emachine and it doesn't have the option of Vista Basic. I hope it's not all future versions and just this one ornery machine.
