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

    The problem is still here ><

    Can we expect an answer from Microsoft?  They ignore the issuefor more than 1 year ! (since the RC versions) :( :( :(

    This is what I found: (Right after turned on my computer, did not open any other program at all)

    Disable "Aero", then I have the "X" has 5-8 seconds delay, wheras left hand upper conner or top bar "Close" closes "Notepad" and 'Freecell" less than a second.

    Enable "Areo", "hard" reboot, do the same "Notepad" and "Freecell", then "X" works as fast as the left hand upper conner or top bar "Close".

    My hardware:

    Intel DX58so MB

    Intel i7-930 CPU

    8G memory

    Geforce 9800GT 512M

    Kinston 128G SSD HDD

    Windows Experience Index: (Aero enabled)

    Processor:  7.5

    Memory:   7.5

    Graphics:  6.6

    Gaming Graphics: 6.6

    Primary hard disk: 6.8

    Windows Experience Index: (Aero disabled)

    everything's the same except

    Graphics:  6.7

    Gaming Graphics: 6.7

    What is going on?
