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

Hello.

Have the same problem with a window opening/closing.

It seems to be that a first frame in window's closing animation (last frame in opening) is a little more smaller in height and width than original window. It's clearly visible in slo-mo Aero animation, activated in registry. It creates a lag feeling. In Win Vista first animation frame has exactly the same size with original window.

So, could you tell, please, is it a new animation style in Win7 or it's just a bug?

Hello David!

Thank you for your time trying fixing this issue.

I tried what you suggested with a Clean Boot everything disabled.

I had hopes that this perhaps could fix or give something. But "pitiful" it does´t look like an application is interfering.

It would have been easier to fix then ;).

I give you a link on youtube from a person with the same problem. (But his "lag" looks a little more aggressive, could bee the video).

Maybe can it give you an hint of the problem.
