aero

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...

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...

This Color Scheme Looks TERRIBLE. PLEASE HELP!! I have had Windows 7 Home Premium for a couple of months on my desktop, and it dawned on me that the beta on my 4 year old laptop looked much nicer. So I tried to get Aero to work on my desktop. I tried to troubleshooting in the control panel, and...

Hi everyone, I'm just new to Windows 7, and I'm trying to set it up the way I like. I've found out that there's some hotkeys that seem impossible to disable -- WIN+ UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT. They seem to be the new features of "Aero" to control window management -- maximize, moving from one...

When I installed Win7, the first thing I noticed was that aero wasn't on. Thinking that I might have to change theme, I did that, but that didn't work, so I ran the check for errors in the personalize panel and it said that my Graphics card wasn't compatible with WDDM. I don't get it. Aero...

I love the taskbar preview feature aero has but i hate that aero eats cpu and ram. I want the taskbar preview to have the little picture that show up when you hold the mouse over the taskbar button anyone know how.

Windows 7 was running great, but suddenly it froze in a strange way. Aero was working when I hovered over programs in the taskbar, but over than that there was no response. I did a hard reboot and after that all icons were gone from my taskbar. I try pinning more, but a little red X appears...
