Vista - Windows Aero Theme

I came across what may be a bug in Vista today. Has anyone
had their Aero Theme go away on restarts? I set mine to Aero and it loads and
works fine. All of a sudden, the display gets kinda funky along the taskbar,
the quicklaunch will move under the start button and clicking on buttons
stops working, and then the display changes to the Windows Standard Theme.
Dell updated my display adaptor but it still does the same thing. My card is
the highest sold, so I know its compatible. Dell saw it happen when they took
control of my computer. They are reporting it to MS.

Larry,

I've had the same issue since i started using Vista. I have the 32-bit
version of Vista Ultimate. As far as i know, they don't have a fix for it at
the moment. I've been searching the internet for the last 2 weeks and
haven't found a solution yet. Anyone out there find one?

got Quicktime?
That supposedly has been the source of some Aero issues, I've read in
newsgroups.

I too have the SAME problem ... I've seen it's a Java related problem. I dn't
have Quicktime on this machine yet (haven't needed, but I will down the
road). I think it's a known bug to MS.
