You need a far better video card than the integrated video that came with the GX280, which is about an 8 year old system model, and the integrated video could barely handle XP's Luna UI, so won't have a prayer with Aero.

Minium requirement for aero is 256mb graphic memory..all latest motherboards will hav this..well u might have graphic card too..
try uninstalling & installing your 'video driver' for your motherboard or graphic card properly(check options in setup dialog)..it would work..
