Transparency

[Guest]

When I read "Transparency is temporarily disabled because an application that
uses DirectX or 3D hardware features is currently running" (I think this is
Nvidia settings) under about this app...explorer ..What does the word
"transparency" mean?

I get the same error ("Transparency is temporarily disabled because an application that
uses DirectX or 3D hardware features is currently running") when I press CTRL-B in Adobe Flash (which is Flash's "Break Apart" shortcut key). How do I disable whatever is in nView that's making this happen? I hate when applications commandeer shortcut keys without asking!

How do I disable whatever is in nView that's making this happen?

go to Control Panel > NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager

Then in the User Interface Tab, uncheck "Add nView options to system menus". Or use the [options] button next to it to turn off Transparency. Then hit apply.

worked for me. In Flash at least.
