The aero features never stopped working!

Thanks for the time you spent on this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#14 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:10:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#14 DisplayFusion I'm stumped, it's strange that manually starting DisplayFusion is fine, but when it loads on startup it's not. Could you try the latest beta version? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#13 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 18:58:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#13 DisplayFusion No compatibility options checked on either. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#12 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 18:35:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#12 DisplayFusion Interesting, are there any Compatibility options enabled on DisplayFusionService.exe or DisplayFusionSettings.exe? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#11 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 17:06:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#11 DisplayFusion I looked at the compatibility options under properties, nothing was enabled. I then changed my wallpaper using displayfusion and restarted my pc. When it loaded, the aero features were again not functioning and greyed out in the displayfusion settings. I then decided to restart pc again without changing anything and the aero features returned.

So, I can change my wallpaper with displayfusion and it works fine initially, however, if pc is restarted the aero features don't load properly so I have to restart again. The number of restarts seem to be random.

Does this mean anything to you?

Thanks for spending the time on this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#10 Tue, 10 Oct 2017 13:24:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#10 DisplayFusion Wow, that's definitely strange! If you manually start DisplayFusion does Aero get disabled again?

If so, it's possible that there are some Compatibility options set on DisplayFusion.exe that are causing that to happen.

Could you navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion, right-click DisplayFusion.exe, choose Properties, and make sure all of the options on the Compatibility tab are disabled? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#9 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 15:21:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#9 DisplayFusion Keith, I unchecked the Start with Windows box in the option tab and restarted my pc, all aero features have returned. Thank you!! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#8 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 17:23:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#8 DisplayFusion Ok, strange! I'm not sure what else would be causing the Aero themes to not be available. If you disable DisplayFusion from startup, then reboot, does that change anything? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#7 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 02:39:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#7 DisplayFusion Yes, it is listed as Started ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#6 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 14:14:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#6 DisplayFusion Thanks! The troubleshooting info still shows DWM as not being enabled for some reason.

I have tried each suggestion without any progress. When I go into personalization, all the Aero Themes are greyed out and I cannot click on them. Anyother suggestions? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#2 Fri, 29 Sep 2017 19:22:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb#2 DisplayFusion Can you try this?

• Open the Start menu, right-click "Computer" and choose "Properties"
• Click "Advanced System Settings"
• Click "Settings" in the "Performance" section
• Make sure that "Enable desktop composition" is enabled
• If that doesn't help, also right-click the desktop, choose "Personalize," and set the theme to one of the ones in the "Aero Themes" sections

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb Wed, 27 Sep 2017 20:59:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-7-64bit-professional-aero-not-working/?ID=7035fa59-8c49-47fd-9834-29261ec999fb DisplayFusion I am using the displayfusion pro trial 8.1.2 version. When I restarted my pc my Aero features stopped working. I checked the settings under options but that area is greyed out. What can I do to resolve this? I am enjoying the software so far other than this issue.

Thanks ]]>
