Re: Windows Aero Glass won't turn back ON

[Guest GooDFeLLoW]

The fix worked really well for me... thanks everybody!

 

One more question... is there a way to stop Aero from turning off? After

every few times I restard, Aero has turned off and I have to go through this

procedure again. Is this a known problem with a fix? Thanks...
