Windows XP Mode Full Screen - Minimize won't work

When I use the Windows XP mode virtual PC that comes with Windows 7, running at full screen, the Minimize button will not work if Display Fusion is running.

Are you using the full Windows Aero theme, or the Aero Basic theme on the Windows 7 host OS?

I was using a custom theme based on the full Aero theme. Upon receipt of your comment, I saved my custom theme and then switched to the out-of-the-box Windows Aero theme, and the problem disappeared. I then reinstituted my custom theme, and it now also works without issue. Problem solved, although I have no idea why :-)

Thanks for your comment.

No problem! I've been able to reproduce the issue you were having without DisplayFusion even running, but only with the Aero Basic theme. I'm assuming it's some Windows bug related to not having DWM enabled, so perhaps switching to the Aero theme on your system enabled DWM and then it stayed enabled after you changed back to your customer theme

At any rate, glad to hear it's working now!
