Aero problem
So, I have a Win7 Enterprise system that started with a WD Scorpio Black 500Gb hard drive. After having a couple of bad sector failures in the boot area and repairing these problems (chkdsk), I purchased a Seagate Momentus 500Gb hard drive with the same rpm and cache values. I used Acronis True Image to clone the WD drive to the Seagate. The Seagate has the Aero problem, the WD drive does not. If I go into Services and stop/start the Themes service, it is fine. The display response to a right click in either mode seems pretty darn slow with the Seagate. Don't know why either of these problems should be problems. Any help?
-- Update --
Right after posting (naturally), I had a handful of Configuration Management updates that needed installing. Most were .Net4 related. After restarting to install those updates, the Aero environment started up just fine. It seems like I saw a similar fix response to this problem on another forum somewhere today.
-- Yet another update --
So I rebooted this morning and the problem is back. I have disabled the LogMeIn services - no change, I have created a local user account which seems to work okay but I don't have a lot of start up stuff in it obviously as it was just created.
What I don't get is why changing hard drives would make this difference. I had researched the specs beforehand and both have similar specs. What in the cloning process would have messed things up?
