aero theme disable when running java app

[kamgrn]

My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise. I use Sun Java System Server Console 5.2. I have installed Java Version 6 Update 17 (build 1.6.0_17-b04). Every time I run the Sun Server Console, I lose my Aero theme. The windows msg pops up stating that I have lost my color scheme. Program: java.exe. I ran through the Aero Troubleshooter, and it Detects & Corrects a problem with DWM for the current session, but when I close and reopen the Sun Server Console it loses the color scheme again. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this correction permanent?

Just out of curiosity, was this response just a guess? What do you mean by "the other java works fine"? What other java?

Because I believe I do have the latest version of Sun Java System Server Console, which is 5.2. (Sun ONE Directory Server) If there is a newer version that you are aware of, please let me know. From what I have researched online, installing the latest version of java fixes this problem with most other java apps, just not this one apparently. So if there are any other suggestions, I would appreciate the help.

Right click on the main executable that runs the sun server console and click on properties and change the compatibility view options to win vista sp2 or a lower windows version, and see if that works.

Thank you for the suggestion... good idea I had not thought of ... unfortunately, it did not work. This really is an annoying mystery to me. I uninstalled the console and reinstalled it .. noticed that just clicking the setup.exe even disables the color scheme.

Still open for more ideas. :rolleyes:

Dang lol, no problem anytime ;) hey where can I download that setup from?, I want to see if it happens on my windows 7 and see if I can tinker around with it for a bit and try a few things.

That would be great! I would like to know if this happens to anyone else other than who I work with .. I am determined to figure this out ... I believe this link will get you the download: http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=4373c4c2 (Sun Java System Directory Server 5 2005Q4 (5.2 P4) ).. once you do the installation, choose console only. let me know if that DL does not work (otherwise I have a zip that I could send you).

Alright I spent about two hours last night trying to get it to work lol, no luck. But I have another idea you could try running the server console in windows xp mode and see if that does the trick or not.
