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

    Well, I decided to check and see how things were going here since I started this topic. And it looks like no MS Support person has posted here in a while. It's sad how they are just sweeping this under the carpet.

    "It doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother you."

    --> Well, that's your opinion. But I don't want to see ~100 stutters a day in the next years. Vista had no Aero stutters. Windows 7 is newer, so why should I accept needlessly stutters?

    Happy holidays, happy life, cheers and thank you for your very helpful answers.

    It's trivial. I use Windows 7 every day. It amounts to nothing in microscopic and grand view of things. It doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother you. There, I've fixed the whole thing for you. My psychiatric consultation bill is in the mail!

    Really, you need to move on ... very bad karma! Save yourself the keystrokes; this is my last post on the topic.

    Happy holidays!

    You really have no business in this thread if you're not interested in a fix for this. We're not discussing the "grand view" of things. If you want to talk about health care and wars, go start another thread.

    Or you can continue to use Windows ME by your logic. After all, it's nothing in microscopic and grand view of things.

    If the "issue" with which you are concerned is mind bogglingly trivial then I guess the resounding answer to your question would be "yes". Glad I was able to clarify that for you. Now you can work on getting on with living and not being held hostage to the products you use in an ____-retentive kind of way.

    I thought I made myself clearer in earlier posts.

    This issue is far from trivial. It's a half-a**ed, stuck in between new style and old style window animation. It either needs to be one or the other. The most important thing is that at its worst, it MESSES UP MY WORKFLOW. Part of what I do for a living is making music. If you have many windows constantly opening and closing at a time, for instance, to edit single notes, the "snap", "lag", or whatever you want to call it can make me click the wrong window by accident and edit the wrong one because I think the window has either frozen, not closed, or is still open. In that small amount of time that it takes that window to snap, I can click and focus another window.

    Since this is the case, it is a bug, and needs to be fixed. If I am sitting there just browsing around on the internet and checking my e-mail, or wasting my time on social networking sites, then, of course, it's no big deal. But I actually use my computer for a living. That being said, we need an answer from Microsoft.

    It's trivial. I use Windows 7 everyday. It amounts to nothing in the microscopic and grand view of things. It doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother you. There, I've fixed the whole thing for you. My psychiatric consultation bill is in the mail! Maybe MS will "fix" the issue in SP1. If they do, GREAT; if they don't, GREAT!

    Really, you need to move on ... very bad karma! Save yourself the keystrokes; this is my last post on the topic.

    Happy holidays!
