Different Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Problem in Windows 7
Okay, the problem is, after installing my Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on my Windows 7 beta, 7000build. I can run War3.exe after the installation. When I restarted my computer, the problem starts here. Every time I open my War3, It minimizes on my task bar. When I click it again, it maximizes for around 1 second then minimizes again. I know its running fine because I can hear the sounds of the program and I can see the menu for 1 second. I'm wondering if this is fixable. I search the internet for similar problem but it looks like I'm the only one having this kind of problem. I tried Updating my Video Card driver, I think I have the latest. Thanks in advance whoever can fix this problem. Tried system restore, no result. Reinstalling my War3, it works. But, whenever I restart my computer, the problem appear again. I need to shutdown my computer. Here is my Computer specification. System Information Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7000) (7000.winmain_win7beta.081212-1400) Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.3GHz DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Physical RAM: 3581MB Virtual Memory: 2047MB Video Information Video Card: NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT (Prerelease - WDDM 1.1) Video Memory: 2035 MB Chip Type: GeForce 9600 GT Driver Filename: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll Driver Version: 7.15.0011.7923 | 11/20/2008 21:25:00 Disp Settings: Generic PnP Monitor | 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (75Hz) Audio Information Audio Device: Speakers (High Definition Audio Device) Driver Name: HdAudio.sys Driver Version: 6.01.7000.0000 | 12/13/2008 10:47:51 Default Sound Playback: true Default Voice Playback: true -- jalf |

Done. I fixed it. The problem is, with the windows 7 desktop Composition. Here's the solution. Go to the warcraft installation folder. Select War3.exe then, right click it, properties. Compatibility - check -disable desktop composition.- And no more, minimizing problem. -- jalf |

No. And I think, Microsoft intentionally added that option because, it can't be fixed on their side. So, I think, it's up to the game producer to add some compatibility in their program. It's just a thought anyway. -- jalf |

It's just a thought anyway. Vista has the same "feature", Desktop Composition, but WC3:FT works just fine on Vista, so this is probably a bug introduced in Windows 7, could be based on your hardware or something else, but either way when you observe something click the send feedback link. Just my thought anyway. -- Joe |
