My Cubase 8 Pro will not run on my Thinkpad W520 (Quadcore, 16 GB).

I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

I get an error message "DWM Composition not running. Switch to an Aero theme".

I've researched it on how to do the switch, but get the same error.

Somewhere I read that the problem is video card related and is not limited to Win 7.

Has anybody run into this and know the fix, if there even IS one. Anybody running CB 8 on a Thinkpad ???

Cubase tech support excellent ! It was my Windows screen which had to be set to Aero. Several have had same problem and fix
 
For what its worth, I have a W530 with 32Gb Ram running Cubase 9.5 on Windows 10 64bit with no issue.

Not sure how useful that information is to you however....
