I changed the value of DeviceFeatureLevel to all of these (0x9200, 0x9300, 0xa000, 0xa100) and it didn't change anything. Can you confirm the location of the entry? it was in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM By the way, version 0.3 works nicely for that computer and without that entry in the registry My graphic card is an ATI Radeon HD 4850 Here's another debug file with the test I did. Thanks debug.txt
