graphics, video, and aero problems after installing 7
Ever since I upgraded to windows 7 from vista I've been having a lot of graphical problems, most of which were never an issue before installation.
One issue has been with aero. Moving windows about looks really choppy and slow. I was using Aero with windows vista so I don't see why there would suddenly be a problem? I've also lost all ability to play videos from any media player in fullscreen. The videos lag so much that it's pretty much unbearable to watch.
I haven't tried much in terms of gaming, but I'm pretty sure running a game at this point would be enough to make my computer explode. Even simple games like solitaire don't run smoothly.
One thing I've noticed is that if I lower my computer's resolution I can watch videos again, but I've never had to do this before, what gives?
I've tried a tons of suggestions from around the internet and nothing works. All of my drivers have been updated, and I've even done a clean install of windows 7, which I think actually made the problems worse (I wasn't have video problems until I re-installed)
Some computer specs: I'm using a new HP Pavillion (p6130y) (purchased in August) with 8GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 9100 graphics card, amd phenom x49750 processor, and a 24 inch monitor if that means anything.
This computer is practically new and ran so amazingly before I upgraded. Any help would be sooo greatly appreciated.
