Pending: Songbird/iTunes stops aero effects

Greed · 08-05-2009

Whenever I open up iTunes (and more recently discovered with the use of Songbird), the aero effects are removed and look quite awful. I've lived with this for awhile now but figured I might as well get some professional help to fix it. I have a hp pavilion 7z laptop with an ATI mobility hd radeon 3400 graphcis card. Once songbird is closed it will just go right back to normal.

Pictures of problem:

Bad: Yfrog - 32181060214385675123537.jpg

Any ideas on this?

Hi Greed,

This is a common problem and was fixed with the latest version of iTunes.

Please download the lastest from apples website and install it. As for the other software that does it - you'll have to see if they eventually fix their software to be more compatible with Vista.
