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

Sorry, it doesn't work. I just tried it on two rigs, one which has a GTX 260 and my laptop. As a matter of fact, I think it actually makes itworse by showing just how clearly the window "snaps".

I was having this same problem and have found a solution. Tested with Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 and Nvidia Quadro FX 580.

Add the following keys to the registry.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Schedule

"FrameRateMin"=dword:0000003c

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics

"Force10Level9"=dword:00000001

This will set the minimum frame rate and sets DWM to use DirectX 10+

Hope this helps you.

It's been 7 months now, and Microsoft has not said a damn word about this problem. Just yesterday, I had a client come in who was still using Windows Vista on his laptop, and I couldn't help but notice all the windows animations were sosmooth.

This is definitely a bug. Microsoft needs to let us users know if they are going to fix this. Without any further delay.
