    Re: Turning on Aero

    This is the hack I tried and worked when I was using a beta version.

    1/ Ensure that you have the following registry value set to :

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition set to 1 (32-bit DWORD)

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy set to 2 (32-bit DWORD)

    2/ Restart DWM by opening a command prompt with administrative privileges :

    - Type 'net stop uxsms'
    - Then 'net start uxsms'

    But i'm not to sure whether this will work in the final build is it a pc or laptop may be worth buying new hardware.

    Not sure we should have this sort of thing on our web site though!
