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

Windows 7 Aero Lag fix for PCs with Nvidia Graphic cards!
1. Install latest Nvidia graphics driver downloaded from official website.
2. During install select "perform clean install" option.
3. After all the reboots open Nvidia control panel.
4. Go to Advanced 3D settings and find power options.
5. Change it from Adaptive to Maximum performance
6. Go to individual program list in advanced 3D settings menu (The tab on the right)
7. Add Desktop Window Manager (DWM.exe at system32 folder) and Explorer.exe (at windows folder) there.
8. Set their power mode from optimized to Maximum performance. Also change power mode of Windows sidebar to Maximum performance too.
9. Reboot!
This solved aero lag for my Asus N61VG with Geforce 220M 1GB DDR2 with latest Nvidia drivers version 301.42.
