Windows Aero

Every now and then when I open a window I get the 'colour scheme has been changed to vista basic' thing pop up and the screen flashes then about 3-5 seconds later it flashes again and everything is back to normal.

It is really getting on my nerves! It is also guarenteed to happen when I open a lecture in windows media player (which is an MP4).

Because it changed and changed back so quickly I could never find out what the program was but last time I caught it and it said it was windows photo gallery - but that's not even open.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

your computer is low on power and Aero is a hog Vista will look after it for you or you can do what I do and run with all the glitz turned off. Start/Control Panel/Personalization/Windows Color And Appearance/Windows Classic
