aero

Hello. I built my PC about 6 months ago with some fairly good hardware. It has an Intel i7 860 quad core CPU, 4096MB DDR3 RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with DirectX 11, and Creative SB X-Fi sound card. My operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Anyway, I've played a lot of games on...

A stupid program (Livestream) asked me something about Vista aero stuff, but i did not pay attention so it switched the beautiful, transperent theme and windows t some XP-like theme. Window color form Personalization can be only solid now and is XP/VISTA style. Link Removed How I revert it back...

Sorry this is from back on March 19, 2010, but I stumbled across it and thought it was worth posting. Microsoft is working on a patch to fix a hole in a 64-bit Windows 7 graphics display component that could be exploited to crash the system or potentially take control of the computer by...

Microsoft has noted that a graphics bug could allow hackers to take limited control of 64-bit Windows 7 machines. It says disabling Aero can block the problem, but that it’s unlikely to be exploited. The vulnerability is in the 64-bit editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 plus...

Hi everybody out there. I just really wanted to post this article/thread about why you should love Windows 7. I'm born XP fan, and after Windows 7 came out, and i wanted a new PC, i was 100% sure i wanted Windows XP for everything, because XP is the OS i have had most best experience with (and...

Hello, Okay, I have a big problem. I got a laptop from Ebay (Compaq Evo N800c [15" screen]). It came with Windows XP that looked like crap because he had it "rigged" to look like Vista, and I hated it. So I installed Windows 7 after finding out that the laptop can support it. The problem is...

How to i permanently shut off this pop up. It happens while playing Battlefield Bad Company 2. Every play session this popup happens and I dismiss it over and over because frankly, there is NO noticeable performance problem. Windows seems to be giving a false positive. It has persisted through...

Hi, I'm not sure if this problem is solved by others but I'm just happy mine is so I hope this information will confirm the existing solution if any. Anyway my problem initially was... 1) CPU usage overshoots 50% constantly (mind you 2GB and not running any program). 2) dwm.exe recorded over...

Out of nowhere the startmenu, hovering over objects on the taskbar, right clicking desktop to menu, using task manager: all of these are now very slow. The thing is periodically it will run fine even though I have the same number of applications running and haven't really changed anything...

Hi, since I upgraded to windows 7 a while ago I could never get aero working. When I install my graphics card drivers aero turns on. The problem is when I enter into an application, for example a game, aero switches off. Also upon restarting my computer after installling the graphics card...

Hi, I run windows 7 x64 ultimate and I like to have my taskbar on the left side of the desktop. I widen it just enough to have two icons in the system tray wide. Now any time aero stops working (for any number of reasons), the taskbar resizes back to being just one icon wide (the minimum). I...
