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

I'm having the same problem over here.

There is a lag when opening a window or when closing it, in Vista it was butter smooth.

Running: Windows 7 (x86/32-bit) RTM (Build 7600) - Clean Install

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+

Motherboard: MSI K8N nForce4 Vanilla

RAM: 1GB DDR400

Graphics: MSI GeForce 6600 256MB PCI-E - Driver: Forceware 195.62

Windows Experience Index: 4.0 (CPU: 4.3 - Memory: 4.5 - Graphics: 4.0 - Gaming Graphics 4.0 - HDD: 5.2)

I've seen this problem on almost all PCs I've been around, plenty of them.

And besides this is a fix for notebooks. What about desktops?

Why isn't MS releasing a fix for this? How large of an update could this be?

Hi guys ..

I have just found a solution for this issue ..

First of all, I saw my friend's desktop working windows 7 with no lag at all, so I started thinking it's not a bug

so I considered the probability that the GPU is the reason ..

FIRST .. my solution only works with NVIDIA GPUs only :)

u can find it by clicking on this link ..

It worked for me ..

hope u like it :)

Sorry, this is not a valid fix.

I already disabled Powermizer on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 notebook which has an nVidia 260M, and the lag/skip still exists.
