Windows 7 Aero issue need help
Just as of recent i've been having a problem with Windows Aero where it basically shuts down due to an error and runs Windows Aero Basic instead until some random time it decides to start working again. I lose transparency, the ability to preview open apps, etc.
A few things i've done are to run the Aero diagnostic tool, use a command prompt in conjunction with sfc /scannow, a system restore to before the error started taking place, and a search using the internet. The results were that the diagnostic tool didn't detect any issues, the integrity of my files were fine with sfc /scannow, the system restore didn't fix anything, and obviously I didn't find any helpful information through internet searching.
On a side note, could this be due to updated graphics card drivers? I had the ATI 11.2 drivers installed and updated them because of a recent game but when I first encountered this problem I did a standard uninstall (complete with the proper restarts) and chose 11.3 instead as I had read those were more stable and didn't come with the DCOM issue in 11.4 and 11.5.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
