I have a 4 months old PC with Win7 Home Premium x64.
Windows Experience Index is 5.4.
Intel i5 processor
6GB memory
nVidia GT220 video card.
During games, Windows reported shortage of system resources, so switched the desktop back to "Windows 7 Basic" desktop theme.
After game-over, I could switch back to the normal theme and enjoy all Aero eye-candies.
However, lately the glass-like window transparency feature got disabled, and I found no ways to enable it again.
There is a Troubleshouting option in Control Panel saying: "Find and fix problems with transparency and other visual effects". If I launch that, it does not find anything.
Event viewer is full with the following warnings:
The Desktop Window Manager is experiencing heavy resource contention.
Scenario : The Desktop Window Manager responsiveness has degraded.
Taskbar, window borders, etc, none of the other transparent features work, and I cannot turn them on. Any thoughts?
