[Craig_]

Overview
This VI programmatically disables this Windows Feature by using a Windows API call.

Description
Some applications require Windows AERO to be disabled. This VI programmatically disables this Windows Feature by using a Windows API call so that you do not have to instruct users to disable it manually.This VI Calls DwmEnableComposition from Dwmapi.dll. Information on this Windows API call can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa969510(v=vs.85).aspx

It also checks the OS Version of the computer running the code to verify that the computer has AERO as an option before it calls the DLL.
