    Windows changes from Basic to Aero


    Hiya there

    I have a strange problem since a few months ago my PC has started changing the theme on its own, from Basic to Aero, it wont do it always, but occasionally.

    Now I have heard of it doing it the other way around Aero to basic, but never this way round before and it's more of a curiosity than an annoyance as it's easy to turn it back again, but I did wonder if anyone has any ideas as to why this should be ?

    I have all the latest MS updates installed etc, and the latest Nvidia driver.
