************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

i followed this:
download>selected x32>run as admin>got the error.
but now when i click on the application again it shows that Hide Blur is active but still the Aero Blur is on here is a screen shot:

Hi there, Does anyone know if there is something like this for 64-bit? Cheers.

This program works just fine on 64 bit Windows 7.

Thanks mikedl, It didn't work for me on 64-bit. I experienced similar behaviour to what deepakumar initially did - and it turned my taskbar, etc blue - solid blue. Perhaps deepakumar would like to share what he did to get it working.
