i have lost my ability to use vista aero (all of a sudden) after being able
to use it for 5 months and my WEI has dropped from 4.6 to 3.0, why has this
happened and what can I do to get aero back?

asus A8n e, 4gb Ram, 300gb hdd, Nvidia 6800 LE AMD x 64 3800+ dual core.

It is so weird, I have aero listed under personalization but the windows
colours and transparency slider are missing so I cannot enable aero

Have you installed new Graphics Drivers ?
Seems to have caused this problem on a few systems I have seen.

The lowest individual score is the one reported - if the change was the
graphics index - it would be the likely suspect.

The graphics card score was 4.6 but there is one that says gaming something
or other and this was showing 3.0. I rolled back the driver on my Nvidia
6800LE then rebooted and the index has gone back up to 4.6
