For whatever reason, it thinks it's rendering with that mirror driver. It's possible that simply having it installed is enough to disable Aero - it might have hooks in place all the time even though you're not actually using it, which are enough to throw Windows off.

You could disable the mirror driver in Device Manager, or entirely uninstall the remote software. Of course, this will inhibit your remote functionality, so it's a tradeoff.
