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

And the big deal is, that every single Windows 7 PC has this specific open/close issue. That's what I believe until I see a PC in real life or a youtube video in slow motion without this problem.

Well, I think nobody besides you has a min/max problem, including ajm786. I minimized and maximized in slow motion and in real time, but everything is fine. Closing and opening windows is the problem. I saw at least four videos on youtube about the close/open stuttering, but no video about a min/max stuttering.

This is correct. There is no problem with minimizing/maximizing. The problem is SOLELY with opening and closing a window.

There are maybe a few users on the web, which have/had a problem with the whole Seven Aero beeing very slow and choppy. Maybe you also have this general problem with Aero.

But here in this thread, most users have a specific close/open lag.

@Microsoft

We cannot solve the problem by updating our driver. The problem seems to be in the Aero code. It is independent from graphic card and driver.

I just want to know, whether this lag will ever be fixed or not. Is there a plan to work on this issue? If I'm not mistaken, the first threads about this specific close/open lag was opened at the beginning of the year . This is a long time........
