Well, the desktop composition thing at least gives my customers a choice: No flicker, but no Aero, or Aero but with flicker. Choices = good. ;-) Choices are only good if they are good choices. In my own opinion the above equates to Choices = bad ;-) Well, considering that these programs are old, and need to be

Then, desktop-composition only applies to one desktop, in Vista at least (possibly desktop composition will be extended to multiple desktop in the future), Desktop composition goes many lenghts far to ensure GDI compatibility. For you `splash-screen` scenario, I would probably recomend using a layered window

They (MS) plan on adding hardware acceleration in the display engine for the Longhorn (and it sounds like a new api too). See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/aero/default.mspx for details... Look at the presentation entitled "Hardware Accelerated Graphics and Desktop Composition in Windows" for details.

I was kind of pissed about that... after all, why does Movie Maker need desktop composition? Other than that, it runs like a champ using an XDDM driver. What is "desktop composition"? Are you implying that if a system can not run Aero it also can't run other applications, which I don't believe is true? Steve.

On the Compatibility tab, click to select the *Disable desktop composition* check box. When you select the Disable desktop composition option in the program properties, Windows Vista disables Aero Glass every time that you run the program. Aero Glass is re-enabled when the program is closed.

If you are then you will of course get the same "slow and jerky" behaviour of the drag rectangle in Vista when desktop composition is enabled as you do in the IDE, a problem which can in both cases be fixed by turning off desktop composition in one of the ways previously mentioned.

Perhaps you can answer a couple quick questions: As you say, I can disable the flashing by unchecking "Enable desktop composition", right?

I have written code to get the screenshot on Vista (even when Desktop Composition is enabled). When I call GetDC for Primary surface than Vista switches to basic display mode.

I understood that the composition of whole desktop is dependent on GPU. But I think Present function is there which says, "now this rendered screen need to display". Catching a snapshot of a single window with a mirror driver, while desktop composition is active, is not supported today.

I suppose though, regardless of desktop composition - my underlying problem remains the same - I seem unable to capture this window on Vista32 or It does have nothing to do with desktop composition. You can test it yourself with the Side-Bar Gadgets, to see the effect in isolation from desktop composition.
