Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Repeatable crash with Vista's Desktop Manager Service

Ultramon 3.07 Beta crashes everytime a change happens to Windows Desktop Manager service. For instance if I check "Disable Desktop Composition" on a program under the compatibility tab of it's properties window, ultramon will have a fatal error when that program is launched.

I can reproduce the error by going in under services and manually turning off the service that way. What's more if the service is still turned off, when I try to relaunch ultramon it will crash upon start.

The same thing seems to happen if the resolution of a monitor changes, but I haven't been able to confirm this yet. For example if I play a game that changes the resolution it crashes, but if a game is at the native resolution, no problem

Everytime Ultramon crashes I get this error:
Version 3.0.7
OS: 6.0.6005 Service Pack 2 x32
Source file: .\ButtonRendererVistaNonComposited.cpp
Line: 42
Return value: -2147024890

Also when the program crashes the smart taskbar app stays running.
Last error: 0

Are you using a custom theme? So far I haven't been able to reproduce this issue with the standard Aero theme.
