Windows 7 Aero Bug

Just purchased the new version and I'm having trouble with windows 7 and Aero.

When Aero is enabled, my mouse pointer is offset by a good 2 inches and his highly accelerated compared to my mouse movement.

Aero disabled, all works as expected. I can't accept that I can't have Aero and StrokeIt working at the same time!

That's pretty weird. Are you using a special or unusual mouse (or driver)?

And if you enable Aero and disable (but don't uninstall) StrokeIt the behavior is normal?

Yes, if I disable Aero, works fine, if I enable Aero again works weird again :(

Standard logitech optical wireless driver. It's definitely Aero based.

MKairys wanted to know if you still experience the issue with Aero enabled and StrokeIt disabled (but not uninstalled). You can disable StrokeIt by a right clicking on its tray icon. It turns red to indicate it has been disabled. Please, try it this way and let us know the results.

Sorry, but the problem is when I use Strokeit, if I disable strokeit, there's no problem.

Nevermind the mouse acceleration, it's the misaligned color line that gets drawn that's the real issue. (always appears two inches to the right and 2 inches down for example).

Now, a REALLY funny thing, some apps (like strokeit) will display the mouse draw correctly if I do it on that window. Presumably because it defaults to a non AERO theme window manager.

Could you tell us your Windows and StrokeIt version? Also did you have any previous versions of StrokeIt installed and have you uninstalled that or did you just installed the new version over the old one?

Also your monitor setup: how many and at what resolution, please.

Ok guys, FIGURED IT OUT.

It's related to the DPI, I had 120 DPI set and it was causing this issue.

So anyone else, if you've set your DPI higher than default, resetting it "fixes" the problem.

Maybe the developers can look into this.

That is good to know! I have seen similar issues come up on this forum on a regular basis, I think.

that means , strokeit does not support higher DPI than default.
