Classic Shell: Forum

I have Windows 7 64 bit, running Classic Shell 4.1.0 with a custom start button.


When I start my computer the default Windows 7 start button shows for a second,
then Ulead VideoStudio 10 SE DVD runs a program in the background (uvPL.exe) which causes Windows
to go from Aero to the Basic look and the custom start button is shown for a second or two,
then it goes back to Aero automatically with NO start button showing; and it stays this way!


If I click on the area where the start button should be it reappears and displays correctly thereafter.
Also, when I run Ulead VideoStudio in:
- Compatibility Mode for Win XP SP3
- Disable visual themes
- Disable desktop composition
- Disable display scaling on High DPI settings
- Run as administrator

After I exit VideoStudio it goes from Basic to Aero and the start button disappears; and it
stays this way (until I click on it)!


This does not consistently happen, bug it does most of the time!!
(I checked this with a larger button, it is not behind the taskbar it is just not displayed.)

Maybe this has something to do with my button .png files. Here is one of them:

Okay so while the switch happens from Windows Basic theme to Windows Aero, the custom Start button disappears and doesn't reappear until you click on it?

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Yes, that is correct.

This is really weird, I started my computer yesterday and ended up with no start button.
I started it up today and it was there.

I will try uninstalling Ulead VideoStudio and see if the problem goes away.
