I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 ( Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 / 2 GB RAM / nVidia 8600m GT running 190.89 drivers / Windows 7 Ultimate). I had recently installed logmein Firefox addon, so that I can control & access my system. Post the system restart, I find that Aero is disabled. On clicking on Troubleshoot problems with Aero link, I am told To allow Aero effects to be displayed, close any problems that use mirror drivers such as Live Mesh or Windows Remote Assistance.

I presumed this was because of logmein drivers, however uninstalling it has no effect. I do not use Live Mesh, and Windows Remote Assistance either. What can I do to have Aero enabled again ?

Open the Device Manager, disable the "LogMeIn Mirror Driver" under "Display adapters" and reboot.

Thanks, that worked. Wonder why the uninstall did not remove the drivers. – Sathya♦ Dec 13 '09 at 15:57
because LogMeIn is a useless PoS (piece of software), i wonder why people using it at all when they can have Teamviewer for free. – Molly7244 Dec 13 '09 at 16:03
Well for one I can access it from my workplace. I can't access my system from work using Teamviewer. – Sathya♦ Dec 13 '09 at 16:13
run the Teamviewer Host Server as windows service on your home computer, never failed me. unless you're not allowed to use Teamviewer at work, of course. – Molly7244 Dec 13 '09 at 16:24

not even the portable version? works from USB and doesn't have to be installed on your work computer? – Molly7244 Dec 13 '09 at 20:35

This happened to me because I was cut off in a session by a power outage, simply log-in to the machine remotely and disconnect properly, Aero should magically reappear.
