I cannot get Groupy to function after installing.

on Windows7 64bit Professional

from Stardock Forums

I apologize beforehand if this was a case due to my lack of knowledge of computers.

I downloaded the 30day trial version of Groupy and installed it on to my PC (Windows7 64bit Professional), but I am having trouble getting it to work, to group up between any windows. When I try grouping something it shows me that "Groupy requires the Desktop Windows Manager to be enabled". So I checked the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager and found that it was already enabled. And so the problem remains.

It would be great if someone can help.
Thank you.

What theme are you using in Windows?

Windows Classic, the High contrast themes and Aero Basic do not use the DWM and are not compatible with Groupy.

Thank you for your reply.
I am using windows in the Japanese language so I apologize if my expressions are a little off. I checked what theme I was using, and it seems like I am using one that does not use DWM.  I can only select the themes between "Aero theme","Basic theme" and "High contrast theme", so am guessing that I need and could install some other themes that would use the DWM.
Thank you for helping me!
