Problem with "Show window contents while dragging"

[Michael Daniels]

Hi everyone . I have a problem with the Visual Effects in Windows 7 and I hope you can help me.

My computer does not show contents of windows, diaglog boxes... when I drag them. Look like this figure:

Then I verify the visual effects settings in Performance Options box (System Properties > Advanced system settings > tab Advanced > click Settings under Performance > tab Visual Effects):

-> Note that I have the option "Show window contents while dragging" checked all the time by selecting "Adjust for best appearance".

To let it show the contents, I have to do these:
1. Uncheck "Show window contents while dragging". Click Apply.
2. Select "Adjust for best appearance" again (or check "Show window contents while dragging" again) then click Apply.

Then the result looks like this:

But... , when I restart my computer, or shutdown and then start it again, the problem is still: it does not show the contents of dialog boxes or windows when I drag them although the option "Show window contents while dragging" is checked. :shock:

I was crazy with this. I don't know whether this is caused by software conflicts or something else . Could you help me to solve this problem, please ? I thank you very much for your help .
