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

I'm experiencing the same issue—a slight stutter or lag during the window opening/closing animation. The minimizing animation is smooth.

After seeing so many people with widely varying system configurations experience the same thing, I'm beginning to wonder if this is isn't by design, i.e. some kind of snap open/snap closed "feature." I can't imagine this kind of bug, if it's indeed a bug, getting through to RTM unless it's tied to something very difficult to fix.

In any case I'd really like to go back to the smooth animations I had with Vista.

My specs:

AMD Phenom II X3 @ 2.8GHz

8GB DDR2 800Mhz

ATI Radeon 5850

I have the same problem too and updating latest NVIDIA driver does not solve. It happens only when closing the form, minimizing animation is smooth.
