Vista - Window animations fade in/out

10-13-2007

Now I do remember windows basic having a basic fade in out animation for max
min windows....but I seem to have lost this in the process of sorting out
another vista problem.

Here is the story: pc was running at max 100% cpu usage all of the time,
drained my bat completely all the time. I tracked the problem down litterally
by turning off all services and enabling them in small blocks at a time.
Turns out it was office 2007 for me.

Now what I think I might have done disabled a service directly associated
with window animations. What are the services directly relating to window
animations, or even the themes services.

Thanks in advance.

Service - Desktop Windows Manager DWM

You sure you have not just turned it it off? Click Start > type "System

'Settings' > select the Adjust for best appearance click OK > OK.

Thanks, but nope these were the two things I checked straight away. Before I
continue trying to solve this problem, can someone tell me this:

Does Vista home basic support animated fade in/out on windows minimizing and
maximizing? Or am I going loopy??

If they do, please could someone else give me a direction to look at?

Thanks again,
Adam

I am on Ultimate, but I know that Vista Home Basic does support all the
visual effects of the premium SKUs such as AERO Glass.

thats great thought I was going nuts then.

Ok, well im still in the same boat. Has anyone else come across this problem
before? Its really annoying stuck in basic min max functions.

I have checked the system properties diag box, ive changed it to custom,
back to windows controlling it, and so forth. All with a reboot between them.

Anyone any idea??
