[QUOTE="doveman, post: 874545, member: 67412"] As a workaround, I've created desktop shortcuts for user2 to net stop/start uxsms, which kills/restarts dwm.exe so the user can disable it if necessary and then restart it before using MP. I might also set up a logoff script to start uxsms so that it will always be left running when they logoff. It'd be good if someone could clarify what Aero is needed for though as obviously if it can be left disabled that'd be simpler. I have another issue with Aero, in that I have two mirror drivers installed (mirage for VNC and LogMeIn's one) and Windows informs me that Aero is not fully functional because of a mirror driver. dwm.exe is running though, so I'm not sure whether it just certain features like Aero Peek, Taskbar preview and Transparency (which I don't use and have manually disabled anyway) that are unnecessary for Mediaportal that aren't functioning or if something important to MP is also prevented from working. Perhaps someone can tell from the attached logs whether there's any problem with MP?
