I recently installed a new 9800GTX+ in my computer, (had some difficulties, but i finally got it going) and when i installed the new drivers a windows message came up that said something like "You are installing new drivers and we will be changing the current windows theme" or something like that. Now instead of that cool theme where the tops of all the window are kind of transparent, i got the uncool stock vista look going. I went to change it, but that theme is not under the list of themes that i can select from. What happened to my theme? I want my old theme back lol. Anyone have any idea how i can get it back?

Can you still get em from microsoft.com without having to pay?

If you read this, it looks like it automatically switched out of the Aero theme because of sub par hardware.

This happened around the time i installed my 9800GTX+. Strange, seems like they got it backwards cause i went from onboard video to the 9800. Although, i did disable the onboard video.. maybe it is looking there and seeing that it is disabled?

Found out that yes, it is windows that determines what themes you get to run. I could not run Aero Glass theme until i updated my hardware rating. This also fixed my sound. My sound was really crappy, making all these popping and skipping noises every time i did anything at all. I am talking about the rating that is under system properties.
