Right-click the exe in Explorer and fiddle with the compatibility settings.
I'm trying to set up a new box for my mom to maybe play WoW and just got
that advice from the Blizzard support forum from another player. Something
about not letting desktop settings get applied to the game. (Recall that
Aero uses the 3D part of the video card, so there's probably no longer a
mode switch between 2D and 3D when playing a game. They share the same
hardware now.)
