Default 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.

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.

Good find, did you send feedback to Microsoft?

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.

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.
