Different Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Problem in Windows 7

Okay, the problem is, after installing my Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on m
Windows 7 beta, 7000build. I can run War3.exe after the installation
When I restarted my computer, the problem starts here

Every time I open my War3, It minimizes on my task bar. When I click i
again, it maximizes for around 1 second then minimizes again. I know it
running fine because I can hear the sounds of the program and I can se
the menu for 1 second.

I'm wondering if this is fixable. I search the internet for simila
problem but it looks like I'm the only one having this kind of problem.

I tried Updating my Video Card driver, I think I have the latest.

Thanks in advance whoever can fix this problem

Tried system restore, no result.

Reinstalling my War3, it works. But, whenever I restart my computer
the problem appear again. I need to shutdown my computer

Here is my Computer specification

Done. I fixed it.

The problem is, with the windows 7 desktop Composition

Here's the solution.

Go to the warcraft installation folder
Select War3.exe then, right click it, properties

Compatibility -> check -disable desktop composition.

And no more, minimizing problem

Good find, did you send feedback to Microsoft?

No. And I think, Microsoft intentionally added that option because, i
can't be fixed on their side. So, I think, it's up to the game produce
to add some compatibility in their program

It's just a thought anyway

Vista has the same "feature", Desktop Composition, but WC3:FT works just
fine on Vista, so this is probably a bug introduced in Windows 7, could be
based on your hardware or something else, but either way when you observe
something click the send feedback link.

Just my thought anyway.

But i get exactly the same blinking thing that stops me from playing the game when i use garena. The file does not open and it lowers. I tried clicking properties on the frozen throne file and disabling a couple of things with the compatibility tab, but it does not fix the problem. Please someone help, it never used to be like that when i had windows retarded...it is very urgent as its a source of my little enjoyment...i do not have any other games that i play on the computer so it is important
