Has LogMeIn disabled Aero too?

Yes, during a connection.

That could be caused by mirror display driver. Look in device manager for any mirror driver. If found disable it, these softwares usually still work with such driver disabled.

I will do a little testing there the next time I use LogMeIn.

A remote connection service: https://secure.logmein.com/solutions/default.aspx

In order to speed things up a bit, LogMeIn disables the background on the computer being accessed. All is well while all of that is going on, but then the Windows 7 background changer seems to be complaining later. In my own case here on my 64-bit machine, running my background changer will now somehow crash Firefox quite a bit more than usual and can even cause automatic, blue-screen shutdowns unless I just turn it (the background changer) off altogether.
