I receive Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

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:

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

OK, it seems some people have open/close lag and others have min/max lag. I have both, I have audio lag and I have graphics lag.

-Knock on wood, I haven't had lag yet today.

Your post was a bit confusing....sorry that I judged you in that manner. It seems that this issue is low priority to Microsoft as or right now. The MS mods in this forum skim over the posts we put then they just use a generic answer that has no meaning. It seems nobody know what this is caused by..and all we can do right now is either live with it or reinstall a previous OS and live with that till there is a fix.

Nothing to apologize about. :-)

I certainly hope this issue is not low priority for Microsoft. I saw first hand last night how painful this issue could be. Multiple windows, opening and closing at a fast pace, makes it almost like torture when this issue exists. I mean, for crying out loud, WinXP didn't even have this kind of lag or interference, if you will, that is almost certain to lower productivity.

I don't know, it seems like with Explorer and this new UI, Microsoft is taking steps backwards instead of forward. Just read the forums of all the other problems Explorer is having, of which not least is the issue with Explorer windows remembering their sizes and positions, but that is for another topic right now.
