Aero Turns Off Why???

Hi,

Currently suffering a problem with my Vista 32Bit Ultimate OS.

I'm running a Q6600, 2GB Crucial Ballistix, 7900GS 256MB...

I leave my PC running 24/7 sometimes when I return after a few hours a little ! sign is in the icon bar at the bottom right of the screen. I double click it and it says that aero turned itself off due to it using most of the ram.

While this is occurring I see CPU usage at 0% and ram usage at it's typical 30%.

Could someone help me diagnose the problem and a fix so Aero always stays on?

Thanks in advance

sounds like you have a memory leak in some other application. Task Manager is a good place to start diagnosis.

My computer runs aero, but then on random occasions it turns itself off, and the colour-change menu turns to one off XP. STRANGE.

Sometimes some of your programs do not support Aero at all or Aero doesn't support it. Some programs aren't support with desktop composition, so Aero is automatically turned off. Close your program and it should return back to normal.

I turned that crap off the first time I turned my PC and Laptop on. It's a waste of memory and performance.
