Answer 1

Windows Aero is the graphical user interface for Windows Vista, an operating system released by Microsoft in November 2006. Its name is an acronym (or backronym) for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective and Open.[1] Intended to be a cleaner, more powerful, more efficient and more aesthetically pleasing user interface, it also includes new transparencies, animations and eye candy. It replaces the Luna visual theme popularized its predecessor, Windows XP. Aero also encompasses a set of user interface design guidelines for Microsoft Windows.

Windows Aero is the name for the new theme Microsoft Windows Vista will be using. Due to its glass effect (you can see through this theme) you need a very good graphic card, so you might be encountering this problem because you do not have the minimal requirements for this theme.
