orthoprrep Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hello, I downloaded the 30 day free trial yesterday, and am unable to open it. It says "Windows Aero is not enabled. This will cause rendering problems and slow performance. Please select an Aero desktop theme for best results." I went in to the control panel, selected an Aero desktop theme, tried again, and it still was not working, so I restarted the computer, and haven't had any luck with that either. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I would love to try it, and see if it will work for what I need. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 So you have installed it but it will not run? This post will likely help you sort the no stop issue: Alternatively, If you want to override the error message, you can use --no-dwm-warning on the command line. So, you would start Command Prompt and type: --no-dwm-warning and press enter. Also, check in device manager to see if you have other display adapters like logimein, this was someones fix to this issue. stokerg 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Please also note that the clock runs continuously, so you won’t get ten full days of use out of the product unless you can manage without any sleep during the trial period.
