I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and the latest driver possibly available from Acer and every time I start my computer Windows Aero is not enabled. I have to log off, and then log back on for it to be enabled.

Do you have any skins applied when this is happening? What happens if you uninstall WindowBlinds?

Just yesterday, I installed the latest copy, fresh from scratch, and then applied skins. It worked initially and then when I reboot, Windows Aero is disabled which makes skins look funny. I wish I could give more information but thats as direct to the problem as I can possibly get. I can send off a DX DIAG report to a specified email if need be.
And yes, it happens when skins are applied, I uninstalled WB and the problem went away.

Let's see about taking a closer look at what's going on. Download and run the following utility:

I sent an email to support, and they replied with the generic response to update my drivers Had they read the thread in reference, I can't use outside drivers because it breaks the proper operation of this particular laptop.
Besides, I could not find Radeon HD 6310 Drivers , its an AMD APU.

Here's the only mention of your video card driver:
This doesn't say anything about not being able to use outside drivers, just that you went to Acer. If you were sent to ATI/AMD's webpage, it's because they found a more recent driver, and figured you should try that. Please make sure you're explicit and detailed about the situation, and in everything you've tried.
