    Everytime I attempt video out, I get this in the event manager (source: Desktop Window Manager, event ID: 9019):

    The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because the desktop composition setting is disabled

    The standby light on my external monitor does not change from orange->green either.

    I have recent nvidia drivers installed.

    This error message is not related. I enabled Aero, and it no longer came up.
