Happens to be with Vista and a Radeon 3450 card. Anyone find a solid fix for this?

This is a better fix than killing and restarting explorer.exe.

I set this up so I could have a context menu when right clicking on the computer icon in the start menu:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Aero Flush\command]
@=”rundll32.exe Dwmapi.dll,DwmEnableComposition”

or run from a batch/shortcut:
rundll32.exe Dwmapi.dll,DwmEnableComposition

Same issue on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP1.
Same hack to fix (terminate and restart explorer.exe process).
Using ATI Radeon 4800 HD.
If someone has resolved it, please make a post.

I also have this problem, it never did it before but now it started everytime all of a sudden. Possibly due to some driver or software that was installed I’m guessing. Either way it is very annoying!!! Let me know if you find a fix!

i have the same issue on multiple machines. I am also using rdp a lot so this issue is absolutely annoying to say the least.
