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

    Thanks for the input. I will try it and see if it works!

    Nope. Didn't work. I might try agian cause I think I did it wrong because I only unistall the drivers, not delete them, and when I rebooted Windows auto-reinstalled them.

    But something else did just now occur. I was going along my normal rotine and BAM! The screen went black and then came back on a few seconds later, then it was laggy, so here I go again to reboot!

    Come on MS, what's the word? Your getting some really pissed off costomers here!

    Right, well, I realise this is a wide spread issue and my suggestion will probably have been tried, but in the spirit of give it a go anyway...

    Check out my post here:

    I know, different symptom, but I suspect this is an easy trap for people to fall in to and could give rise to any amount of varied graphical queerness short of a complete crash.

    Worth a punt?
