I'm glad you got it fixed. I had no idea that Aero was interferring. But
neither does any of the members of the Windows Vista team, and you have no
real way despite the bullshit about public bug reporting to let them know
and they have provided no way to let you know they have noticed or fixed the
bug. Welcome to Vista. I'll try to get an email of a team member you can
email directly since MSFT has demonstrated they have no interest in hearing
from the public and letting the public know they are working with their
bugs.
I have taken to doing my best to provide direct emails of either a Vista PM
on a team responsible for the bug since MSFT has failed to provide any
meaningful mechanism for bug reporting by the public or to someone who has
the capability to get the bug to them. I can quickly tell when someone is
not sincere about being reached, and in this setting that someone is MSFT.
You can download the MBC (the Microsoft Bug Reporting Client Tool via:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43655 but for the public it's as
worthless as yelling at an NFL quaterback on TV on Sunday (NBC) orMonday
Night (ABC) this season.
Email this bug to
You know that old saying "see you online"? It means nothing from MSFT.
Put your bugs in their mail box. And don't be satisfied with some
bot-esque, bot-like bullshit reply they made with their little Outlook 2007s
that go "thanks for your input yadayadayada" --Demand to know what team is
fixing it.
Ask them when they are going to fix SFC (System File Protection) if ever
because Colin who is taking on the role of the Vista ombadsman can't answer
any of this.
Good luck,

Iraq and stability --chances zero--American and Iraqui deaths every day for
the rest of your life! Great job of Civil War US--you waiting for General
Lee and Abe Lincoln to show up? You're waiting to see a Confederate flag
before you admit it? Your puppit has already condemned you.
Lebanon and stability--chances zero--A peacekeeping force full of feckless
UN fighters has been in here for 28 years.
Good show Team Bush! You're on your way to a WWII but the battlefields
won't have names that are pages in large coffee table books.
