ace2 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) how can one restart or stop glass8 without logging off? task scheduler does not actually stop it, and taskkill says aerohost.exe is not running so i can't kill it that wayTO RESTART AERO GLASS:Task Manager / Details and end dwm.exeTO STOP AERO GLASS:Task Manager / Processes and end Aero Glass extension for Desktop. Than GOTO Task Manager / Details and end dwm.exeNOTES:This is for aerohost.exe Method.To restart aero glass after using STOP AERO GLASS You can just start the task in Task scheduler.Thanks BM for the corrections.

bigmuscle Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I would just append that if he uses different way of injection (e.g. old AppInit_DLLs) then he must disable this injection first before dwm.exe restart.And no, you don't have to restart PC. You can just start the task in Task scheduler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuzi0n Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hopefully the black box problem gets resolved as everything else works beautifully thanks to bigmuscle .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilbreaker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi there, I've recently installed Version 1.0. Unfortunately it's not working. Perhaps there's something wrong with "CSettingsManager"? I tried it manually, the installer and donated aswell for the debug symbols.I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro (x64). Here's the log:[2014-01-21 22:21:41][0x1550:0x1574] Installing DWM hook...[2014-01-21 22:21:41][0x1550:0x1574] Module: C:\AeroGlass\dwmglass.dll[2014-01-21 22:21:41][0x11A4:0x15F8] Donation key not loaded (2)[2014-01-21 22:21:41][0x11A4:0x15F8] Machine ID: XMDXP6L4FFDMVL3THMUDLU42XZ2LQ5YBAILPQ5GYFLPYL4CI[2014-01-21 22:21:41][0x11A4:0x1614] CSettingsManager not found, running in LIMITED MODE![2014-01-21 22:22:28][0x6A4:0x6A8] Installing DWM hook...[2014-01-21 22:22:29][0x6A4:0x6A8] Module: C:\AeroGlass\dwmglass.dll[2014-01-21 22:22:29][0x3E8:0xBD0] Donation key loaded[2014-01-21 22:22:29][0x3E8:0xBD0] Machine ID: XMDXP6L4FFDMVL3THMUDLU42XZ2LQ5YBAILPQ5GYFLPYL4CI[2014-01-21 22:22:59][0x3E8:0xBC8] CSettingsManager not found, running in LIMITED MODE!Thanks in advance!

bigmuscle Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 illuzi0n: could you (and others with same problem) try at least temporary solution by editing "Aero Glass" task in Task Scheduler and setting some startup delay? E.g. 10 seconds (page Triggers > Edit > check Delay task for)Soilbreaker: please enable verbose logging (see website guide how to that) and then provide full debug.log. Your symbols seems not to be loaded for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKyHC Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 minidump aerohost.exe: http://rghost.ru/private/51831175/4f4cbfd7a2d77856962cceb01c0ba7dbThanks, I finally found the problem. Your aerohost.exe is not running under SYSTEM account, but under its localized version СИСТЕМА which is the problem. Does certain localization really translate even default system names?I guess that everyone who has the same problem just use Russian localization.What we can do with СИСТЕМА account? Maybe you can change account for aero to TrustedInstaller, for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilbreaker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 @bigmuscleWell, I don't know why but re-installing Aero Glass with admin right solved the issue - after having the license.key already in the AeroGlass folder. But thanks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyn1907 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes, I have Russian localization. RC3 works fine, v1.0 does not work at all. What to do - I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBee73 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Would my license key, previously from my donation to the program - while in the Windows 8 version, work on the new version? I installed the AG 8.1 with no problems, so I assume it's okay.Just wanted to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevon Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Heya,My copy is rejecting my license key. I've grabbed it directly from the donate page using my machine code as copied to the clipboard, but it still brings up the message about donation and the watermark is still present.Any ideas?Debug.log shows the following. I've tried to re-generate a new license key a few times with no luck. I only have 2 machines using Aero Glass so the license keys shouldn't all be used up.[2014-01-22 17:45:50][0x4AC:0x4B0] Installing DWM hook...[2014-01-22 17:45:50][0x4AC:0x4B0] Module: C:\Aero\dwmglass.dll[2014-01-22 17:45:50][0x340:0xB64] Donation key not loaded (5)[2014-01-22 17:45:50][0x340:0xB64] Machine ID: MSG4GELVFFDMVL3THU5CLMBFXZ2LQ5YBN2LI3LRYFLPYL4CI Edited January 22, 2014 by Xevon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) as already written, error 5 means wrong permissions. Make sure you have write permissions to the file. Edited January 22, 2014 by MagicAndre1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevon Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) as already written, error 5 means wrong permissions. Make sure you have write permissions to the file.Read-Only is off on all files. I've also specified aerohost.exe to run as Admin, but that hasn't helped. My Windows account has admin privs.It's also worth noting that the theme loads, but I don't get any transparency. Symbols have been downloaded. Secure Boot is off.

ralcool Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I have noticed at times with non english accounts, sometimes software will not install.1/ open command prompt (hit start button, type CMD, right click, run as Administrator2/ type the following:net localgroup /add Usersnet localgroup(lists all user groups. should now see one called Users)So, this might help for 'SYSTEM' too?http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490706.aspxJust trying to help.Edit, Also I have black glow box problem, it seems to occur for me on morning cold boot. I have it set to 0x0 no glow effect.A system restart seems to fix it for rest of the day... (I have an SSD, so maybe the system is too fast like BM suggest for load WIM?)I currently use Appinit to load DWMGlass.dll still as it seems there is maybe a problem.. I have not tested install/aerohost.exe method yet) Edited January 22, 2014 by ralcool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
