| | For a while Vista has been using the Glass style, which I like. Then one day, I discovered it decided to default to the Metal style (which I don't like as much as Glass) I can fix the problem by restarting the DWM using TweakVista, but I don't want to have to do that every time. Is there a registry value or something I could change? Edit: OMFG, please tell me it didn't just censor out that word from Glass... fixed now |

| | Well, I've figured out the problem... DWM stopped starting on bootup... so is there any way to re-enable it? I tried using this command in the Run section of the registry: rundll32.exe udwm.dll DwmClientStartup but that didn't do anything. |

| | Why did this get moved to the tweaking forum? This is not a tweak, this is a support question. The DWM is no longer starting when I boot up my computer, and I want to know how to fix that. Is that really a tweak? |

| Maybe because the glass effects are turned off by default in 5112, turning them on is considered a tweak. How are you liking "Vista" so far? Unfortunately the pc I installed this on has a SIS video card that doesn't support the glass effects. Found some minor glitches over the past week or so, especially accessing network drives and I have to kill uxss.exe process sometimes when the system slows down.

One example: I tried to save a file in MagicISO and I got a "Cannot open AVI" error. Same thing happens when I try to update Spybot. And McAfee Internet Suite 2004 messed up Windows to the point where I had to reinstall it. Other than that it works pretty good, other than some random restarts. The only drivers I had to manually get are ATI's Vista drivers (the LDDM ones) and my sound card drivers. |

| | If anyone cares, I found the problem. Quicktime got installed along with Riven, which added QTTask.exe to the startup procedures in the registry. This was causing the DWM to not work correctly. So I used Startup Control Panel to get rid of that task. |
