Hi,
Form last few weeks I have been playing around with Vista. I love the Areo glass theme, but sorry to say it takes way too much of memory to continue for me. Now with Visual studio 2008 Beta also installed, it’s not possible to run Aero on my system.
So I decided to turn of the Areo system. But I found it quite difficult to find information on deactivating the Areo Glass system. So I decided to put the info myself.
- Open the personalization section of the computer. You can do this by right clicking on any blank spot on desktop and choosing Personalisation.
- The first link will be, Window Color and Appearance. If you are using Vista Aero then click on the last link (Open classic appearance properties…). The Appearance Settings dialog box opens.
- In the colo0r scheme list choose another scheme(other than Window Vista Aero.) I would suggest Windows Vista Basic.
- Now click ok and its Done.
- To move back to the Vista Aero theme, go back to the appearance properties and select Vista Aero.

Yeah, I had the same problem and couldn't find accurate info on how to deactivate it. Now it runs faster and eats less memory and cpu. Thanks!!
