Hi, I am using Windows 7. I want to enableDesktop Composition. But it is not shown in Control Panel> Performance Information and Tools>Adjust Visual Effects>Performance Options. So how can I enable Desktop Composition in WIndows 7? Thanks in Advance, Vivek

from your screen, the lowest scores are for your video card and one other item. they are at 1.0. that leads me to believe your hardware doesn't meet the specs. and thus you cannot enable AERO or Desktop Composition. Did this system come configured with Windows 7 or was it an old system upgraded to Windows 7?

Vivek - Desktop Composition is part of Aero and is on by default. If you want to disable it you will need to disable Aero.

Cole/B-C, As per screenshot attached, I dont have Desktop composition optioin in Performance options list. I want to enable Desktop Composition, so that in the taskbar, different windows can be seen in boxes together. I hope you understand my query.

if its a desktop, replace your video card with one that meets the requirements. If its a laptop, you are SOL.
