As stated in the other thread...
Don't really see how any of this would help us. A few people are already running windows XP with service pack 3 (myself included).
So we can't switch compatibility or disable desktop composition. I guess if you are running Windows 7 or Vista give it a shot and see if it works.
Well, that's really sad. So, like the dude says: if you have this problems running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, that's the way! Peace and Love!
