original title:  Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK since we've got the ball rolling here, I am editing this to better reflect what is going on. The below links are just a few out of hundreds of post you will find on the internet about this Aero Lag. Some offer workarounds and some don't. I just Googled Aero Lag and this was from the first page.

If you have the same problem, please provide:

  1. What type of graphics card you have.
  2. What kind of drivers are you using (Win7 preinstalled or manufacturer's drivers)
  3. Was your version of Win7 an update or clean install.
  4. What motherboard you have.

From the sounds of it, Microsoft is looking for a fix.

I also ask for a forum admin to make this a sticky as many people are experiencing this problem.

**Have solved my problem withAeor lag.**Reinstall Windows 7 U64 twice with new/old driver.

Replaced Gforce 8800GTX with Gforce GTX480.

Have spent many days on this problem without a solution.

But here is a very simple solution that works for me.

I removed the USB extension cablefor my CreativeHS-1200WirelessUSB Gaming Headset.

Aero lags when Iused USB extension cable and headset charging.

Without USB extension cable, everything is fine.

So it think itis a voltagedrop in the USB extension cable,causes the system to lag. ?

Hope it can help.

Sincerely,

Dennis Psilander

    A possible fix...try reinstalling Adobe Flash while in Safe Mode. This came from the guys at Geek Squad. Apparently they are using this to fix (____! I just did it and it that lag just came back, oh well. Worth a shot.

    I also join the club. At the end of the opening animation and at the beginning of the closing animation there is a stutter. My computer:

    1. Nvidia GeForce 7300
    2. I tried everything: driver from Windows Update, latest final driver from nvidia.com and beta driver 195.39 from nvidia.com
    3. Clean Install, no upgrade
    4. Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI

    On a blank clean installation, withouth crapware or anything else, with all driver up to date, without any overclocking, I have this problem.

    Yes, my graphic card is not fast, but every Aero animation is running as smooth as I can imagine besides exactly two things: opening windows and closing windows. This point and the fact, that people with high end graphic cards also have the stutter problem, let me think, that my slow graphic card is not the problem.

    My laptop with integrated graphic unit and running Vista is not as fast as my desktop pc. But it can close and open windows without stuttering. I also tried the "Aero animation slow motion registry hack" on the notebook (Vista) and on my desktop pc (Seven). The result: Seven Aero is stuttering in real time and in slow motion. Vista Aero is not stuttering in real time and is not stuttering in slow motion.

    The problem is opening and closing windows. Everything else is smooth.

    Is there anybody without this problem? If yes, could this person please make a slow motion video of opening and closing windows? That would be nice. Thank you.

    I installed Win7(x64) a week ago and this problem appears immediately.

    My config:

    1. NVIDIA 8600GT
    2. Lastest drivers from nvidia.com
    3. Clean install (formatted disk)
    4. Motherboard: ASUS P5Q-PRO

    Additional info:

    Intel *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, 2GB RAM@1066MHz

    Very annoying lag, I did not expect that in final release.

    And quite where do I go to find audio chipset and driver info on that?

    Here is a link to see my IRQ's I'm no expert in these kind of things.

    Now pardon me while I reboot, again.
