Random Bump

I had planned to start doing more on the blog side of this site last week but unfortunately I was sidetracked by family illness, pain from dental surgery and a cold. And now my Windows 7 machine, which had worked fine since I purchased it in late 2009, is starting to get buggy.

The Desktop Window Manager issue has appeared. This program randomly shut of causing my monitor to flicker and the Aero window transparency to turn off and on, randomly.

This is rather annoying and I’ve tried all of the fixes, including forcing Aero by editing the registry. In the end the best solution for me was to just go with a “Basic and High Contrast Theme” on personalization, which isn’t a big loss really. It looks fine and it appears to be better on the resources.

If I ever get another Windows 7 machine I’ll probably drop Aero. But then I digress.

I’m hoping to get back into posting more regularly here by November, especially about Bill C-11. The debate is on and the opposition is multiplying to the digital lock provisions.
