Enabling desktop composition.

Default Enabling desktop composition.

When I change the theme for my display, I get an error that says: The visual
styles could not be applied. {Desktop composition is disabled}
The operation could not be completed because desktop composition is disabled.

Has anyone else seen this error?

I seem to remember something about this in my reading. I'd check your video
card - if it's not the equivalent of an nVidia FX5200 with 128 mB of VRAM
then that's probably the reason for it.
