 Try launching spotify from the Run command with the command below. If that works for you,  right click on the spotify shortcut you use to launch spotify (you may want to create a copy on your desktop instead) and go to properties. Go to the shortcut tab and add  --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background after the current contents of the Target box.

 

%APPDATA%\Spotify\spotify.exe --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background

If it works in one, it should work in the other. Make sure that the target box looks like this at the end (copy and paste this)

spotify.exe --disable-accelerated-layers --disable-accelerated-fixed-root-background

 

Also be sure to click Apply then OK. If it still won't work, could you copy and paste your target box contents here?
