My first day with Vista.

Well, yesterday I finally got vista installed, and today I finally really booted it (actually played around with it). Well...I already have a problem. For some reason, I do not have the aero theme. I have the x600 graphics card from ATI (which says it is supported in vista). In previous builds, I have had Aero, but do not have it now.

Things I dont like:

1) The new "properties"...well that is what is was on all previous versions of Windows and of Vista builds. You right click on the desktop and go to "Properties" to change things around. I dont like that new interface.

2) How do I put cleartype on? Is it still available? Can I download the Aero theme? Heres to searching...
