Aero Peek not working after waking from sleep
I have searched all over the internet and in this forum for an answer. It seems that others have experienced the same problem, but there never seems to be an answer. I'm hoping someone can offer help, even it the answer is this is unsolvable don't waste your time
When my PC wakes from "Sleep" the Aero Peek preview windows don't work. I only get a text description of each open window, but not an actual preview of the window. The issue can be temporarily corrected via Reboot, but as soon as the system sleeps again the Aero Peek preview windows are gone again.
The problem most definitely occurs only after waking from sleep, not from Windows turning off the display. If I set my system to sleep in 3 minutes and I immediately awake, the Aero Peek doesn't work. If I set my system to never sleep, the Aero Peek keeps working.
After the system is awaked from sleep, when I right click on the Start button and select Properties for the Task Bar, the Aero Peek check box is still checked but the entire selection for Aero Peek is greyed out.
When I go into the Control Panel, Performance Information and Tools, the Aero Peek selections are not even showing in the menu list to select. However those selections are available when aero peek is working and the machine has not yet gone to sleep.
When I go into the Control Panel, Personalization, and select "Trouble Shoot Problems with transparency and other Aero effects," the system never detects a problem to correct.
I have looked at my registry, and it still shows Aero Peek as being turned on even when its not working.
My machine is a desktop HP with an AMD Phenom Quad core 9550, 6GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics running Windows 7 Ultimate which was upgraded from Vista. In my attempt to resolve, I have done a full windows update and I updated the graphics driver.
My system otherwise runs perfect and stable. I am really stumped on this, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
