It also works for Windows Vista Home Basic edition (according to the author). Note that I haven’t tried it on my system.
hi.
I downloaded this tool and i have windows 7 home basic but this does not work . It always shows to enable aero but never does .
help me.
I have 32 bit windows and all requirements.
Doesn’t work for me either. Win7 home basic spanish.
Same thing happens with me. I click enable aero and nothing happens. it would be amazing if someone could get this working.
Forget it, Damian. Aero Enabler can NOT enable Aero Transparency. On the Aero Enabler’s web site it says the following:
“On Windows Vista / 7 Home Basic, it’s not possible to enabler transparency. However, you can enable the taskbar-preview”
Sorry folks, Aero Enabler can NOT fully enable Aero on Home Basic edition of Windows 7.
And if your computer uses an Intel Graphics chipsets, see this Intel page on troubleshooting Windows Aero:

If you want FULL support for Aero (not partial support), step up to Windows 7 Home Premium or greater as the Aero Enabler tool isn’t worth it.
