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

Yea okey you proved me wrong ajm786, it was just a theory I hade since my win7 install was verry unstable. Not only did I have problem with animations but also slow boot time, slow hard disc performance even opening chrome took a while, and sound would disappear and go about half a sec when listening to spotify or itunes. Maybe I just failed to install a driver. As said I'm back with vista and everything works fine, even tough my windows score is lower in vista then win7 it sure runs lot smoother. Guess we have to wait for SP1 :(

That's ok, no problem. At least we're proving to Microsoft that this is indeed an annoying bug.

What irks me the most is that Win7 was the OS that had the most beta feedback of any other OS in their history, yet they missed out on some bugs that are HIGHLY ELEMENTARY in nature.

As time goes on, technology progresses. It's not supposed to go backwards. Yet, with the UI, there are some very basic things that Microsoft missed out on, and I still can't believe after the fiasco that Vista was that there are some things that Vista does better than Win7!!! It doesn't make any sense, since Win7 is BASED on Vista.

So do we even know what the cause of the lag/stutter? Is it Aero?
