  Original title: Troubleshoot Aero gives weird error
  I want to activate Aero so I can have all the cool kids stuff xD

  OK, we'll take it seriously. I tried to activate Aero but Windows Ultimate 7 x 64 won't LET me. I ran the resolution of the problems in the hope of transparent windows, but it gives "Desktop Windows Manager is disabled" every time. I ran Services.msc and it already works! I restarted the service, and the same error comes back. DWM.exe is running in Task Manager, too. I have closed that, started the service, always error.

  Can someone please? Intel Core 2 Duo T5300, 1.73 Ghz, 3 GB RAM, SiS Mirage 3 IGP with 256 MB shared memory.

• "Desktop Window Manager is disabled." Can't keep the service runs.

  I turn on my computer, and it starts as usual. Loads of DWM, everything looks great.  However, about 15 minutes, the screen flickers, although he does nothing else; However, a minute or so later, it flickers again and the theme back to the Windows 7 Basic.

  After you run the troubleshooter, it detects that DWM is disabled, and it repairs.  In 5 minutes, however, it happens again.  I can also manually enter Services and restart, but the same thing happens - then within 5 minutes, it comes back again.  I messed with the settings; The service is set to automatic and ALWAYS seems to be running when displayed in the Services window, but the resolution of the problems ALWAYS said that it is not.
  This leads me into the wall; I've looked everywhere for solutions, but nothing helped. Any suggestions...?
  Additional note: the display continues to Flash every now and then AFTER the passage in Basic.
  My computer fully supports Windows 7, it came with it pre-installed.  This problem does not occur until recently, but I don't have a clue as to why he does now.  I have not installed new programs in a long time.  Previously, the only time where he spent to Basic were when I would disconnect my computer and he switched to a diet of low-power.

  Hello ContiX,

  The flickering issue occurs while you were active aero and is still occurring without aero active, correct?

  What type of adapter Dispay do you have? Manufacturer and model

  You said in your original post that after 15 minutes, it starts. Do you regularly which could be causing the problem? Do you notice more frequently when you perform a particular task?

  Try to perform a clean boot to rule out the possibility of problems causing of any third-party application.

• Convenience store said Aero "Desktop Window Manager" must be activated, but it does not show how the help section? Convenience store told to look elsewhere for help.

  Convenience store Aero says that my 'Desktop Window Manager' was disabled, so I couldn't change my themes (I also suddenly lost 'glass').  But how to activate or activate 'Desktop Window Manager' and - the most galling - why didn't he appears in the help section?  Convenience store said he can help me and look elsewhere for help.

  Last changes: I did a clean install of Windows 7.  I turned off last night (everything works OK), and then it works again this morning :(

  I found the solution here - will post here just in case someone else gets this problem:

  go to the Control Panel and search for Services , under Administrative Tools , go to Services .

  go to the bottom of the window and you will find Desktop Window Manager Session Manager, right-click to choose from (including rebooting).

  PC restart and re - activate the Aero theme.

• Desktop Windows Manager unable to boot

  For some reason any random got disabled my windows aero and I am unable to turn it on. I think that I put the finger on the problem in the service of windows desktop Manger. In case the viewer I get error "Desktop windows manager could not start" ID 9002 each time I start up my pc or I restart the DWM service. Service DWM said its performance in the services window, but I guess that its fails to start.

  Things I've tried:
  Start and restart the service times DWM and themes
  Switch to the classic theme then back to aero theme
  Run Microsoft fix it tool for windows aero (says no problem is found)
  Run again my performance index (it is a 5.9)
  Start in safe mode, clean my old graphics drivers and reinstall them
  Return to a previous graphics driver
  Remove and reinstall all the components of my PC (I actually had a new case come AFTER this problem started happening)
  Update my motherboard BIOS
  Use windows restore to restore before the occurrence of the problem started (I was super surprised when this has not set). Unfortunately my backup image was deleted when my car pc saved when the problem occurred
  has run SFC - he says he has found corrupt files but was unable to correct
  has run chkdisk

  DXDIAG: http://pastebin.com/nYfQUKKU

  This problem starts to irritate me I hope you have other ideas

  Thank you

  Hello

  I suggest you to check the CBS logs and track section of link scan SFC - "the System File Checker tool cannot repair a file, follow these steps" from the following link:

• Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed

  One of our machines (HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC running Windows Vista x 64) will receive the error "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed" with lots of close error. He reappears (as well as all windows flasher to non-aero, then back to aero) in a few minutes, spends about 5 times per hour.

  I did some research on this and have already taken the following measures without a bit of luck:

  1 run the command chkdsk / SFC scan - nothing found via chkdsk, SFC found some issues fixed, and some, it did not set. Them that it solves not all related to Windows Sidebar, which I do not / does not start.

  2. put updated drivers for ATI Radeon 3200HD - this had a lot of new questions. Installing caused newer drivers ATI catalyst to no longer work with errors during installation and popup errors at startup. After trying several solutions workaround to try to get installed it, I ended up coming back to the driver that came with the laptop, that are properly installed and working without error. I am skeptical of update of this stable driver as a solution to the dwm.exe error.

  3. this problem just started yesterday, that occur with not a lot of changes. Other than updates of windows (I think that .NET framework and a few other updates installed), I replaced NOD32 antivirus with Bitdefender antivirus. The system was stable with bitdefender for about 2 weeks, so I'm not convinced that this program is causing the error.

  4. the event viewer shows the following:

  Failing application Dwm.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e02696, failed module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18881, time stamp 0x51da3d16, exception code 0 x 80000003, offset 0x00000000000461f0, process id 0 x 124 error, start the application time 0x01cea0365a457adc.

  Offset, process id and start on time all vary, but there are a lot of these application errors in the viewer all screaming Dwm.exe like the failing application.

  What should be my next course of action?

  You do not receive an error but a caveat. NTStatus results (the set of codes execption used by ntdll - the failed module) begin to 0 for no error, 4 for information (you should never see this), 8 for putting guard and C for error.

  It's your specific error.

  //
  MessageId: STATUS_BREAKPOINT
  //
  MessageText:
  //
  EXCEPTION {}
  Breakpoint
  A breakpoint has been reached.
  //
  #define STATUS_BREAKPOINT ((NTSTATUS) 0x80000003L) / / winnt

  Problem is, you shouldn't have breakpoints. Breakpoints are set by debuggers and stop the execution of the program to the State of the program can be examined. There should be no breakpoints in a retail system. More breakpoints are inserted into memory during execution of the program in a debugger. They tend not to do in the actual file.

  So here are two assumptions, either you have no exit code, IE test code (driver?). Or you have a running program that behaves like a debugger (which is suspect).

  Each of the three towers of programs, services, and drivers in increasing amounts. So restrict the possible culprits.

  Clean boot

  Click Start - all programs - Accessories - run and type

   

  msconfig
  

   

  Then go to the Startup tab uncheck everything. Then go to the Services tab check hide all Microsoft Services and uncheck everything that is left.

   

  Reset. If this resolves your wake problem ½ of services / of startup items until you find that one.

  
  Tip clean boot

  If the above does not help.

  Download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  Start the program by right-clicking and choosing run as administrator and click on the menu Options - Filter Options and check hide Microsoft entries and disable include the empty slots. Uncheck the box just to the left.

• Aero works do not, troobleshhoting said window manager is disabled, but it is entirely run, any help?

  everything is in question, I already checked the many proposed solutions (audit registery hack under current_user, a previous version of the video driver, update the video driver, 32-bit color setting /... / windows/dwm, etc.) but nothing works

  I think the problem started when I launched an old video game "without desktop effects", the game is completely uninstalled, but aero does not work.

  Windows troobleshooting says:
  -Windows Manager is disabled (but it runs and I restarted several times but it does not solve the problem)
  -Course theme does not support aero (but I chose a theme aero before running the fix of the problem)

  in fact I can choose the aero themes but I don't have the background image, the transparency of the taskbar went sure (I tried to check the Performance parameters / Visual effects but I have not found the transparency checkbox), also I do not have the aero option (or any) when I opened the customization window color.

  Windows login window appears correctly (if it is part of aero)

  any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  So what for some reason any worked for me is to rename C:\Windows\System32\nvwgf2umx.dll to nvwgf2umx.dll.bak (all other copies of this file are in the folder DriverStore).
  After that, I ran from an administrator command prompt
  net stop uxsms

  And miraculously all started working again.  I'm running a GTX570 with latest drivers nvidia from Scripture.
  Note: You probably shouldn't be move/rename things in System32 unless you are confident and have your data backed up.  It worked for me, but who knows you.

• Desktop window manager service is missing

  Reference Dell 1520

  A few weeks ago, the Aero feature has stopped working on my Dell 1520 with Windows 7 RC.  I downloaded the latest driver for Win 7 for Intel, but that does not solve the problem.  When I went to restart the desktop window manager service, I found it lacking altogether.  Y at - it somewhere that I can download it again?

  Hello
  It is usually a video driver issue. Would like to know what controller you have and see if the manufacturer has a new driver for Vista.
  Please let us know if that was the issue.
