Why does D&D Online disables Windows 7 Aero features?

[LuvITorHATEit]

I like the game's graphics and sounds. I do not like how the game disables Windows 7 Aero functionality. Could they fix that please?

What happens is that the game causes Windows 7 to popup a message when the game begins saying this program has performed an action requiring Windows 7 to resort to Windows Basic window colors and Aero functionality will resume after the program exits. I would of course prefer to let my Windows color theme stay the same during gameplay.
