No I don't have a problem Vista, its running quite nice :) After I found a good driver for my graphics card I decided to test them out with a few games. Why does Vista switch out of Aero when running games and switches right back after you close the game? To help with performance?
It does it with certain applications, i guess it is because you are running games that were made for earlier OS's (XP) so it has a fit and has to close Aero, it does it when i use Ulead DVD Movie Factory.:rolleyes:

Ok, its hasn't did it with any of my apps, but that would be annoying with a application. At least I don't have to see it when running a game.
It does it with JASC Paintshop Pro...cuts Aero out, then goes back. A minor irritant that I hope JASC will patch eventually. But so far its the only app that does it.
I found this interesting reading. One of the things it mentions in passing is that if an app tries to draw into the border area of a window, it falls back to Aero Basic so the layout is compatible with old Windows versions. I assume there are other border- and window-related things which would make it fall back temporarily too.
I just found this, which goes into more detail. Looks like full-screen apps are always going to do it.
Thanks tuttel explains it very well. :)
