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

Do you have any PCI cards right below your video card, sometime the PCI-E and PCI slots share the same IRQ and will conflict with eachother. If thats the case, move the card down one or two slots if your board has more avaiable. If not the case then its something else like a program pegging your processor.....

It could be quiet a few things..

Check to make sure CPU speed is correct...What Phenom processor do you have? New Phenom II or older Phenom and what model # is it?

Check your task manager and see how much the CPU is being used % wise...

If its way up there...then look and see what tasks are running and how much CPU % is being used for each.

These are only a few ideas of what it may be...

Viruses or anything else (Spyware, Adware) can cause issues like that too.

I actually found a solution...though I have a high end system the GPU that was packed in it isnt..its a integrated GeForce 9100(plus it has bad heat management) that is under the required specs to run Aero....solution? I got a 1 GB XFX Radeon HD hooked it up and everything is blazin fast!
