    When I run portable "Oxynger KeyShield" I get this alert ...
    Oxynger KeyShield can't start because Desktop Composition is disabled.
    Restart Oxynger KeyShield after enabling Desktop Composition.
    Desktop Composition will not remain enabled

    In "Performance Options" ...
    I enable check { [x] Enable desktop composition }
    Apply (btn) -> OK (btn)
    BUT when I reopen "Performance Options" the setting is disabled
