Aero Window Panes sporadically available.
Greeting fellow Community members, I am working in the IT field helping a company switch from Windows XP to 7 and on over 35 terminals we are having the issue that Aero Peek not working correctly and or greyed out, I am also unable to use the 3D Aero flip feature.
Here is a list of the steps I have thus far tried and had no luck on:
1. Going into Services for the Windows Desktop Manager to stop and restart. Partial success, I was able to view the thumbnail windows window panes, but if I clicked on the Win 7 Theme or show desktop, I lost the ability to view thumbnail windows. I was also able to access what I would consider the normal performance check boxes in performances under the advanced system properties. Ex: Enable Aero, Show thumbnails instead of Icons, Enable transparent glass, ect..., but after clicking on the Win 7 Theme or show desktop all of those options in performance do not even show up.
2. Going through the troubleshoot for Aero, while making sure to apply repairs automatically. partial success here, but still running into the same problem of the fix not staying fixed.
(Side Note: Interestingly after I run the Aero trouble shoot, my screen and all the windows flickers a few times then goes black, but after I minimize and maxamise the windows they look normal with Aero transparance, just no background.)
3. Going in the regedit and changing the value from 1 to 0 and back to 1 again.
4. Running the Windows Experience Index, again partial success here, but still running into the same problem of the fix not staying fixed.
5. Using the Microsoft Fix It download, no luck.
6. Also a while back I tried added some values to the registy in order to have Aero work, no luck then, I can't seem to find what those values were so I can't post them on here.
The only other thing I can see is that I have a repeating fatal error in the event viewer for the Desktop Window Manager (0x88980406)
PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE SO APPRECEATED, I AM OFFICALLY BRAIN FRIED.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR ANY AND ALL HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.
