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

    That's freaky, Victor seems to be right with his (temporary) fix. I opened Magnify.exe, closed Magnify.exe and after that, there is still an open snap in effect, but I think there was no noticeable close lag anymore. How is that possible? I will test, what happens after reboot.

    But off course, this is not a satisfying solution.

    I too can confirm that Victor is half correct.

    Opening and closing Magnifier ELIMINATES the CLOSE lag/snap, but the open lag/snap remains.

    Not sure where your getting that the magnifier tool is a workaround for the lag issue.  Not sure whats going on with your system.

    phew, i thought i was the only one having the problem, hope they find a new fix

    my system is intel core2 duo 2.6ghz with 512mb nvidia gt9400.

    hope they find a fix soon...

    guys i found a temporary fix, after windows boots up, open magnifier and close it,after which  the problem seems to be gone, butappears to come back again when restarted...so u have to open magnifier every time u start windows to enjoy good effects...

    i've made an startup of magnifier because i can't stand aero lag...
