Problem: In Wordpress 2.9 my post editor’s scroll bar and the text bounces almost nonstop. In the Internet Explorer 8.0 it’s getting hard to write a post. Wordpress 2.7 just scrolled up when it autosaved, but in 2.9 it is almost constantly moving around. It’s impossible to write posts in Wordpress anymore. Please do not say that, I am NOT going to use Safari or Firefox… Annoying, really.

I know that Windows 7 has an Aero troubleshooting tool to find and fix such a problems with transparency and then enable and turn on the Aero support but this tool does not work. How to force Windows 7 to enable Aero again? Is there a way to disable Windows automatically “adjusting performance” by switching my color theme back to Basic?
