Windows Vista/ 7 Aero bug - CSRSS.EXE glitch

[Link9rly]

 I do not know why, but recently I've been seeing applications freeze up due to CSRSS.exe. This usually happens when I'm opening a Video/ Audio effect in Vegas Pro 10, or randomly when opening pages that use flash extensivley (english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ does it most of the time). When I click to close, it leaves me with a bug with Aero.

When I right click on the desktop I get a semi-transparent pop-up menu.


When I click on any option, the selected option gets stuck.


This happens with any right-click opened pop-up menus.

I found a solution, but it's rather annoying since I have to restart the computer. Any one else getting this?

Just curiuos, is that a custom theme?

Exacly what jdixo17 says...if it is then i think that problems is caused by the theme you have installed.

The theme doesn't do anything, actually. I know people who have the same issue without themes, etc.

Try reinstalling the theme, looks to me like a theme issue, after uninstalling, before re-installing, test to see if the same issue happens, post results plz.

Try changing the theme to "Windows 7 Basic" and check if the issue still exists, if so, you may have patched your theme files incorrectly.

Also, try getting the original theme .dll's back, restart your computer and check again.
