windows 7 - Aero failure and errors after power loss

    After a recent power loss I experienced, I rebooted (more slowly than usual) to find that Windows Aero failed to load (a High Contrast theme was loaded similar to Windows Classic and Aero themes were disabled) in addition to an error stating that a system service enabling logon of standard users had failed (this computer has no standard users). I restarted the computer again (slightly faster) to find all errors gone and my Aero themes loaded again. I am still somewhat nervous about this, and I am unsure what should be done about it.

    Configuration: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 with discrete AMD Radeon graphics and a four-core Intel i5-2410M processor.

    After getting a second opinion, it seems that Ramhound's suggestion seems to be the case; the computer booted into a modified safe mode to protect system services. I had never experienced this behavior before, however; is this the result of Windows Update or something else?

    Aero disabled in Windows 7 after installing LogMeIn

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 (Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 / 2 GB RAM / Nvidia 8600M GT running 190.89 drivers / Windows 7 Ultimate). I had recently installed the LogMeIn Firefox addon, so that I can control and access my system. After a system restart, I find that Aero is disabled. On clicking on Troubleshoot problems with Aero link, I am told "To allow Aero effects to be displayed, close any problems that use mirror drivers such as Live Mesh or Windows Remote Assistance".

    I presumed this was because of LogMeIn drivers, however uninstalling it has no effect. I do not use Live Mesh, and Windows Remote Assistance either. What can I do to have Aero enabled again?

    Open the Device Manager, disable the "LogMeIn Mirror Driver" under "Display adapters" and reboot.
