Superbar thumbnails flicker on hover, unable to use aer

I'm having exactly the same issue.

I've tried to change settings in regedit, no luck.

Also, I've run sfc \scannow and it says everything is working as it should.

Any other ideas over this?

This problem is a lot annoying, because these are the basis where Win7 works. When it flickers, I simply can't change the application/window, which makes the whole OS useless.

Ok Kika. Please let us know how it turns out for you.

I didn't have to repair. Did found registry backup from my documents folder when I started back up files, didn't remember I made it after windows install Registry restore fixed my issue.

Greetings everyone,

I've pretty much given up on resolving the issue, I'm simply going back to my trusty Linux Distro. It never fails.

Anyhow, for documentation purposes, I've discovered that the issue is related to the video card driver, generic in this case. If I don't update the driver, the issue never arises but it limits me to a select few screen resolutions. Installing the driver causes the problem to arise.

This will remain an issue for some users, I imagine, but hopefully seeing some documentation to the problem will let them know they're not alone.

Best regards,

I have the same problem also. I upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Pro, everything was working fine until a few days ago. The Aero Peek flashes for a second then goes away. Also the screen saver doesn't kick in or sleep or hibernate. I did a repair install, also uninstalled the video card driver and and put it back on, but still nothing. I did notice when I have the device manager screen open that peek will work with everything that is open. The only thing that was changed to the laptop is that I hooked it up to a TV through the VGA. Also I deleted the old files from Vista that were stored in C:\windows\old. Haven't touched the register.

Thanks in advance.
