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

That's ok with me Microsoft, if you want to encourage people to stick with Vista like I'm doing, go ahead. :D

Me too. I have sold my license of Windows 7 since my last post because this issue has not been adressed after over a year. One license less sold for Microsoft. I'll stick with Vista for as long as support lasts.

Any Update - Common this is unbelievable!

Yes but I think we can believe ! It will NEVER be solved... Thank you Microsoft... I wrote mails, posted on Microsoft forums, phoned to technical support who announce me a fix... but NOTHING. :( :( :(

I had the same problem when I tried a copy of Windows 7 when it was just released, I went back to Vista and I'm surprised that after a year, the issue still has not been solved. That's ok with me Microsoft, if you want to encourage people to stick with Vista like I'm doing, go ahead. :D

Any Update - Common this is unbelievable!

Having the same issue - Re-installed multiple times.

Have a Dell XPS with Quad Core, 2-9800 GT (SLI), 6GB Ram, SSD Drive, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (full release, not beta)... and I'm getting this lag/pop effect when opening windows. I also have Vista x64 installed and there is no issue there!!! so its no the hardware/drivers...

Hope to get action on this!
