I noticed that my Windows 7 Aero effect was not enabled yesterday after an IT tech had DameWared to my PC to help with an issue I was having. When I went into the Control Panel and “Troubleshoot Aero Effects” option, I received the following error message: “Mirror drivers don’t support Aero effects” and the Troubleshooting dialog was unable to resolve the issue.

To resolve this, open your Device Manager, expand Display Adapters and Disable the “Dameware Development Mirror Driver 64-bit” driver.

I had a bunch of problems getting this to work, but eventually found the solution; surprisingly, it was very simple.
On the machine running Windows 7 (mine was Win7 Professional), change the DNS server (in the Network Connections TCP/IP 4 section) to the IP of the Domain Server (Server 2003 machine)
Voila!
BACKGROUND:
A few months ago I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro (13″ Unibody running Snow Leopard). Yesterday I decided to try and boot into my Win7 Boot Camp partition via VMWare Fusion v2.03. Doing this installed VMWare tools to Windows 7.
PROBLEM:
Today, when I booted directly into my Windows 7 partition (not via VMWare), I noticed that I couldn’t print anything anymore.
I checked the Event Viewer and found the following error in the System log:
The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly.
In the Application section of the Event Viewer, I found the following:
Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bd3d1Faulting module name: TPVMMon.dll, version: 2.0.51.5, time stamp: 0x48359080Exception code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x000000000000846eFaulting process id: 0x1300Faulting application start time: 0x01caa2aa2c4394d8Faulting application path: C:WindowsSystem32spoolsv.exeFaulting module path: C:WindowsSystem32TPVMMon.dllReport Id: 7188e318-0e9d-11df-9123-895fd79b6e49
The only thing I could attribute the Print Spooler issue to was VMWare Fusion.
I tried uninstalling the VMWare Tools program listed in the Control Panel > Uninstall Program section, but it would not remove. No errors were displayed, but the program wouldn’t remove from the Programs list.
SOLUTION:
I deleted the following folder (and all related subkeys) from the Registry (via Start > Run > regedit):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetContro lPrintMonitorsThinPrint Print Port Monitor for VMWare]
