Problem with Windows Aero on Windows 7 Ultimate - DWM and intensity of the color Alright but Windows says not

My specs:
http://Speccy.Piriform.com/results/ESK7ojaYoNK0s1D6xgcsfDb
I'm a bit confused. First of all, I started this out in trying to solve my problem of 1fps late development that came with my driver, according to a user of the Forums Battlelog Battlefield.
Thinking that 11-10_mobility_vista_win7_32 - 64_ccc.exe was the driver, I went and installed. Does not solve. Then I ended install this: amd_catalyst_11.10_preview3_win7_vista.exe
He ended up killing my Aero...
I uninstalled the display driver that was causing extreme lag my computer and installed the original drivers for my Sony VGN-FW21L since the Sony Web site: 7UPG_Graphics_Driver_ATI_32 8.635_8.635.0908260.zip
Now, the Aero is still broken and whenever I drag a window, several white silhouettes appear as if I TeamViewing someone with a slow connection.
Here is a screenshot of windows troubleshooting:

I had a look at this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/windows-7-aero-disabled-how-can-i-enable-it-again/aa760f0f-eec1-4a36-b212-c96130038d5c
DWM.exe was always where under C:\Windows\System32.
It does not work:
[quote] Force enable Aero in Windows 7
1. click on start and type regedit in run
 
2. navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
 
3. in the right details pane, create after the entry of three DWORD (32-bit value)
UseMachineCheck, and set its value to 0.
The blur and set its value to 0.
Animations and set its value to 0.
 
4. close Regedit
 
5. click on start and type CMD with administrative privileges
 
6. now type following command
NET Stop uxsms
NET Start uxsms
Above command will stop and start Desktop Window Manager Session Manager.
 
7. now you can enable Aero by right clicking on desktop-> personalize-> select the colors of Windows [/ quote]
The uxsms (Desktop Windows Manager) service was already on anyway so I don't know why he troubleshooted it likes this. In addition, the color depth was put at 32 and on the highest option...
What's wrong? Should I have the dwm.exe and DWM registry keys from another computer on Windows 7 to fix?
Kind regards

  • Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

    Hello, everyone!

    Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

    For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

    Thank you very much!

  • A problem with Windows?

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate for free with the purchase of my laptop a few years ago. Recently, in about the last 4 months, my computer was turn off by itself without reason. He did this twice a week at least and is very irritating. It doesn't matter if it has been idle or if I use it. It just stops. It does not restart. When I reboot, I have to click on "start windows normally". So I thought maybe it was first a virus problem or spyware. However, I ran Norton and even contacted the support of Norton, who concluded that there is a problem with Windows.

    I don't know what to do or how to solve it. There is nothing else wrong with the computer and I can't afford to go out and get another laptop. But I work from home doing the transcript and cannot afford to keep loss of work when I'm in the middle of a file only to have my computer just close.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Help? Please, I beg you! Thank you!

    This could be due to overheating.  To check, download SpeedFan http://www.download.com .  If the temperatures are below 50 degrees C, you're OK, if older than 65, that's your problem, between watching the bears.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite 2770 - problems with Windows 2000 display driver

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 2770 and Windows 2000 is installed. If I am wrong the S2770 there graphics S3 Savage IX/MV, and I downloaded the Windows 2000 driver on the S3 site but it wont not be recognized by the hardware detection.

    Then I tried the Windows on the Toshiba site 95SE driver, but Windows 2000 acept used it because it is not suitable for Windows 2000 as it seems.

    What should do? is there a Windows 2000 driver out there that works? I don't want to work at 640 x 480 and 16 colors for ever!

    Hello

    You are absolutely right. Your device has the graphics card S3 Savage IX8 but the problem is that your camera comes with the WinME operating system. This means that there is no support for other operating systems. All drivers are designed separately for each laptop model and the OS. The only way to solve this problem is to install the driver provided by the producer of the graphic card. If this does not work, you have a big problem.

    Sorry, but I don't really know what you can do. Maybe you can try to install the driver designed for Sam 2750. There are the same graphics card, but the driver is designed for Win98SE.

Could you please confirm if there is a problem and if the contact was authentic.

    Thank you

    You have made the right choice to reject the call. It's a SCAM well known and is FALSE. Microsoft and partners will NEVER user calls unless you ask them to call or to open a support case. On the other hand there is no way for Microsoft to know who has a problem with PC. Take a look at:

  • Problem with Windows Installer (I think)

    Hey I just got a new 'game' PC with all the good things like i7 processor nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. So I guessed I would setup games. Games were installed very well the problems started when I tried to run SteamInstall.msi he looks ready to install for 1 second and then close and nothing happen. Even try to do once again nothing. So I gave up with it.

    Then I installed cod4, codwaw and download for both patches. When I try to install the patches it starts normal and after extractinng saying "" ".msi or msu or something it get stuck on the preparation for installation on both cod4, codwaw games and I think about others too... '".

    So I guess that's my Windows Installer problem... ? Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (problems on SP1 also)

    Yoris,
    I think that if you had a problem with Windows Installer, then you would have also had a problem installing the games themselves.  If after installing just the game, you are able to start the game, then you will need to determine if you really need the patches you install.  If they fix game issues and do not add any content, then you may not even need of patches.  If it turns out that you do not have the patches and they are self extracting\installing files and then save them to your desktop and then right click and select run as administrator and see if that helps.  You can also check with Activision support , because this can be a problem they know.
