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

    eMachines ET1831-05 from Best Buy.

    nVidia GeForce 210 from Fry's

    Proc: 4.3

    Mem: 4.8

    Gfx: 3.7

    3DGfx: 4.2

    HD: 5.9

    Since buying this computer I have been battling feelings of nausea and am considering switching back to XP (if I even have the option giving the newness of the hardware!). Not sure what the problem is. I used the same monitor on my XP machine before it died and didn't have issues. I think the interface overall is too shiny, and the effect is like looking through a car window with a lot of glare and then getting car sick.

    Come on, I'm sure Windows 7 is built with the same source code of Windows Vista, at least the the windows actions and user interface.

    No, they don't share the same code. The user interface code for Windows 7 differs from Vista in that on Vista's Aero, memory had to be allocated for the management of the contents of every window, whereas on Windows 7 the memory is only allocated once for the screen, thus saving a lot of memory. I'd bet that the error sneaked its way in during this fundamental change.

    I can't belive Microsoft released Windows 7 with this horrible and nonsense bug. Come on, I'm sure Windows 7 is built with the same source code of Windows Vista, at least the the windows actions and user interface. So, why did they broke something that worked ok on Vista? I'll never understand this.

    Dell Studio 15:

    • Intel Core i3-350M
    • 4GB @ 1066 MHz
    • ATI Radeon HD 5470
    • 500 GB @ 7200 rpm

    (all drivers updated)
