Vista + Aero = Zero ?

Hi,
 
I've installed Vista....well, on Friday night actually.  But anyways, on Picasa 2 it tells me that it has to resort to Vista Basic graphics instead of Aero ?
 
Why would this be ?

    You did not list your computer model number or graphic card, and how much memory, I can only say your hardware may or may not be  good enough, not sure.
     
    Please, always post your model number, video card and how much memory and someone might be able to assist

    Actually, that's an issue with Picasa itself. I notice the same thing with Limewire and Macromedia Fireworks. Certain programs just disable aero. Perhaps when they come out with a new version of Picasa it'll work fine.

    You have an outdated build of Picasa 2. Update it to prevent this problem.

    from what I can see with mine,
     
    I still can't use the Aero deal with my computer (specs below) and it meets the requirements...
     
    I want the "cool" 3D thing but it doesn't do it... read the idiots guide on Vista and a couple other manuals I have downloaded...
     
    nothing tells how to turn it on... or make it work...

    wow... I got it....
    was there all along...
     
    It is only 3D when you press the Windows key and tab...
     
    kinda silly... I thought it was supposed to be that way all the time... OOF!
