Is there any way I can explicitly force 7 to not switch back to the basic theme when things get a bit slow?
I'm remote controlling it with Teamviewer through a wireless broadband dongle, so the connection does sometimes get a bit patchy - then 7 is all too eager to drop Aero, thinking the local machine is struggling.
I can't try an RDP server unfortunately, 'cause MS stung me on Home Premium! Although I'm guessing the same would happen.
Cheers
