Many Non-MS Programs Do Not Display Correctly In Aero

I'm not sure if this is a problem on my end, or whether developers have not
grasped how to make their interfaces compatible with Aero, but there are
programs that do not display correctly for me with Aero turned on. One
example is Acrobat Reader. It appears to be displayed at a lower resolution,
and the buttons on the interface to do not match up with the cursor.
Right-click menus do not display as usual, but are skewed down and to the
right of the place where the cursor was right-clicked. I'm not sure if I've
explained it correctly, but if others have had this problem and know anything
about it, I would appreciate some feedback. With Aero turned off, the program
displays normally. This is the case with several programs I use frequently.

Adobe Reader version 8.1 works just fine on my computer with Aero enabled.

Since you don't provide any information, maybe your computer is borderline
on capabilities for Aero. No problems with Acrobat Reader here, though I
prefer Foxit.

Check with the video card's manufacturer for the latest drivers. I don't
have the problems you do there on my systems here.
