Solved AERO themes causes severe lag in the web browsers.

[DARKWORLD]

Hey guys, thanks for suggestions, tried them all - nothing seems to help ._.

I have a free partition on HDD, so today I decided to try and install Windows 7 from original disk I bought in 2010. Guess what - browsers lag still occurs... I only installed video drivers and that's all.

What I also noticed is that browser's behaves similar to when no video driver is installed, I mean those stuttery animations and all...
And if I open a video, minimize it to taskbar, browse some thing's in Chrome and it starts lagging - when I bring that video on screen and play, it also starts lagging, but when I minimize Chrome - lag is instantly gone.

Also I found a guy in the web, he claims to have the same problem. Although I found nothing similar in our computers...

I'll post his hardware screen here, also I added my system specs on forum as Slartybart suggested.

And just updated driver to the latest 344.11 WHQL, that did nothing...

 

[gregrocker]

What do you mean you only installed video drivers? Why are you forcing any drivers into a driver-complete OS? Did you think this is XP?

I'd start over and this time follow the same steps as for http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164 taking special care with the steps about drivers printed in red so they can't be missed.

This time, after enabling Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3)
Check for Updates and install all rounds of Important and Optional until no more are offered when you Check after each reboot.

This is how you judge initially if a problem continues, by fully patching the OS with patches that are meant to make your PC's hardware work correctly, and the drivers Win7 wants.

Where did you get the Win7 disk you're using? How is it activated?

If the problem persists using the latest official installer from tutorial and after only doing those steps then it is likely hardware, probably a failing GPU. You said you tried everything we'd given you even though you didn't report back a single specific result. So what happened when you ran with a boot disk like Peppermint as advised?

There's far too little hard data to effectively troubleshoot the issue.

Posting information about another person's issue only obfuscates things - it confuses anyone looking at the information.

Members only want information about your machine and your computing environment.

If you are asked for the information, please provide it completely - if you're not sure, ask. Please don't waste your time chasing more than one solution - that's a poor trouble shooting method and will certainly not resolve the issue.

Thanks for updating your system specs, but there was more requested.

I'm confused by the specs though - they say you have 2 NVidia cards ?? This is where specific model information would help.

..... What does the COA sticker say on the laptop? (bottom or battery compartment)

Please provide the following report, it might show corruption in Windows activation or other information that would prove useful in resolving the issue on your machine.

.....
System specs: In the System Manufacturer/Model Number field, manually type Desktop or Laptop adding it to the information already in the field.

The specific model is very important! There are many models that have sub-models that are quite different component wise.

The tool does not fill in this information but it is very important if someone has to research drivers or hardware for your machine.
​

I'll ask for one more report before I give up. Please complete the requests already made and then provide the additional information.
Please follow this tutorial to provide the current operating environment of your machine.

Yes, two in SLI.

What does the COA sticker say on the laptop? (bottom or battery compartment)

Just checked, there is none. Only a Windows 8 stickers without any information.

Please provide the following report, it might show corruption in Windows activation or other information that would prove useful in resolving the issue on your machine.

Why do you have two SLI video cards? Is one disabled? I would remove the lesser card to see if it resolves the situation. If not swap it for the other one. Just disabling may not be enough.

Uhm, its a model with optional SLI card.
I tried disabling/enabling SLI and removing one of them, doesnt help.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Darkworld mate you can find the activation code running Speccy Speccy - Download
or Download program SIW Home Edition by Gabriel Topala > though it may be blocked by your security mine blocks it
See my pic for Speccy anyway and then you will have the code for Greg's tutorial

 

[Slartybart]

Thank you for posting the information.

There are something I need to follow up on
The MGA report says Retail, but the product ID is 00426-OEM-8992662-00537
and the OS description says: OEM_SLP channel

Other than my the above concerns, the MGA looks good.

You said that you downloaded the install media from the website, but never said what website - I have to assume the following
The website was Lenovo
This machine originally had Win8
You downloaded the Win8 media and then recovered the system
At some point you downgraded to Win7
- correct me if those are a bad assumptions

Some of my confusion might be a Speccy error (motherboard)

I took a look at the Lenovo support page and that only confused me more. There are Win8 *.1) updates for devices that are not listed for Win7. The one that threw me was the NVidia BIOS for the 2nd VGA.

Most of the above are simply notes - I don't see anything that really jumps out, but give me a bit more time to research some things.

If you could clear up whether the machine was originally Win8 that you downgraded (also helpful what type of Win8 Home, Pro, Ult..) and where you got the Win7 disc (you mentioned a retail disc from 2010), that would help a little.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole machine - Lenovo, Win8??, Win7 and what drivers should be on it. This is a difficult thread - Lenovo is adding to my difficulty on reaching concrete suggestions. I might come back empty handed, but I'll let you know.

As a start, I suggest uninstalling torrent and Deamon Tools (there's a utility that finishes the DT cleanup - I'll look around). both can cause bottlenecks on some machines. HWInfo can go too. If any are paid programs, make sure you have the license key. Free programs can be easily replaced.

Thanks,

Bill

OEM SLP is installed at factory, cannot be retail.

Looks like you have a cracked copy of win7 which we cannot support

If I'm wrong then please explain where you purchased the Win7 to install.

 

[Slartybart]

Please install KB971033

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB971033)
Download the Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB971033) package now.​

Reboot (restart) your machine

Then post another MGADiag report: http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...ne-activation-issue-posting-instructions.html

Machine came preloaded with Windows 8 Home/Basic Edition, I messed up with it a little while and decided to install Windows 7. It was about a year ago. This summer I decided to purchase Windows 8 Pro & SSD for this laptop, and so I did. After a while I found out about some nasty bugs which I couldnt resolve so I decided to go back to 7 yet again. I installed it from a microsoft ISO, I just googled it and found a highly upvoted post in ms-forum with links on 32/64 bit ISO's.

I took a look at the Lenovo support page and that only confused me more. There are Win8 *.1) updates for devices that are not listed for Win7. The one that threw me was the NVidia BIOS for the 2nd VGA.

Yes, there was a bug/conflict with windows 8.1 and this particular model, in short - 8.1 couldn't recognize second GPU, so they released a VGA BIOS fix for it.

If you could clear up whether the machine was originally Win8 that you downgraded (also helpful what type of Win8 Home, Pro, Ult..) and where you got the Win7 disc (you mentioned a retail disc from 2010), that would help a little.

OEM SLP is installed at factory, cannot be retail.

Looks like you have a cracked copy of win7 which we cannot support

If I'm wrong then please explain where you purchased the Win7 to install.

I have 2 instances of Windows 7. First is the disk in the black curvy box I got with PC that I bought in 2010, I paid for licensed Win7 (at least it was in the bill), they installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it and I also received this disk. Second is the ISO from microsoft's website which I activated using my key.

As a start, I suggest uninstalling torrent and Deamon Tools (there's a utility that finishes the DT cleanup - I'll look around). both can cause bottlenecks on some machines. HWInfo can go too. If any are paid programs, make sure you have the license key. Free programs can be easily replaced.

I'll try that but I dont think it will work, it looks like some hardware conflict with something in windows...

 

[Slartybart]

Ok thanks again for the information.

Follow post #30 and we might get a little closer to a solution. A member more versed in reading MGA said "There's something not quite right about that report". If the ISO you downloaded was corrupted in some way, then we'll never solve the problem without a clean reinstall.

So let me make sure I understand.
Your machine had Win8 home edition installed when you bought the machine and you also paid for a Win7 license (Ultimate)
You also purchased a Win8 Pro license when you bought an SSD.
You then used the Win7 license to install Win7 using a downloaded ISO.

I'll wait for you to complete the Daemon tools, torrent and HWinfo uninstall testing and then wait for the new MGA after installing KB971033

I already installed new Win7 on a different partition, this time from my disk, not this ISO.

Anyway, installed KB971033, here goes new report:

So let me make sure I understand.
Your machine had Win8 home edition installed when you bought the machine and you also paid for a Windows 7 license (Ultimate)
You also purchased a Win8 Pro license when you bought an SSD.
You then used the Windows 7 license to install Windows 7 using a downloaded ISO.

Right.

I have got a little lost here the ISO where was that from?? If it was the one linked in Greg rocker's tutorial it should have been kosher??

From here, to be super specific.

You'd need two Product Keys to activate both installs. Why did you keep the old install?

If the problem persists while running with a boot disk then its most likely hardware, probably your GPU failing.

If not what I would do is look over carefully the steps for doing a perfect http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164 and if you find you didn't follow those steps or use those recommended tools and methods only, then I'd do it over with a fresh ISO from the tutorial. This time correctly delete all partitions during the booted install to get it cleanest.

You can make this a diagnostic install by only installing your network adapter driver if necessary to get online, then enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) to install all rounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates, with reboots, until no more are offered when you Check for Updates.

Then test performance and Aero to see if the problem persists, before checking Device Manager for any drivers needing imported.

Test performance awhile again after each program is installed. Try to pinpoint what is causing the Aero issue.

Hey, I totally forgot about Peppermint USB you suggested to try. Though I only found Peppermint 5 through that link in the tutorial, guess no big deal, right? So I made bootable USB with Peppermint 5, and couldn't boot it, its just stuck right after I picked "try it live" on a grey screen, tried it three times - it never loaded. So I decided to remove second GPU and voila - it loaded pretty fast. Browsed a little bit there, not found any graphical bugs, not even in browser. So I decided to boot Win7 again with a single GPU (although I did it already) and lag still occurs... I guess we can count both GPU's out, or not? What do you think?

Yeah, I will do a clean reinstall tomorrow, seems like I have no other options left...

Also, would it be wise to try and install windows 8 and test that out? Cause I dont remember this bug in W8.

 

[gregrocker]

Sure, you have a license. You can even create two partitions to Dual Boot Installation - Windows 8 and Windows 7 or Vista.

The test doesn't eliminate hardware as the cause and in fact points somewhat to the second GPU. Can you try a disk to see if you can truly rule out the hardware?

Why again are you running two GPU's? Seems like a recipe for trouble. I'm not a hardware guy so will ask a good one to look in.

I'm going to back out since Greg is advising you. Too many voices often confuse things.

The new MGA report is not promising, although it did resolve the Retail / OEM issue from the first MGA. It's not a fair comparison though since you reinstalled using the disc on a separate partition.

@Greg: I think the best way to untangle the various licensing / MGA reports would be for DarkWorld to focus on one install and only one install.

I suggest using the downgrade option on the Win8 Pro license (downgrade to Win7 Pro). This will require contacting Lenovo as the option applies only to Win8 preinstalled OS
Understanding downgrade rights

I'm not sure what Lenovo would do since the machine came with Win8 Home, not Pro - Win8 Pro was a retail purchase.

At any rate, I'm not sure I trust the Ultimate key - the two MGA reports using different media gave odd results.

I'll keep an eye on the thread, but won't post unless I see something - this will keep the chatter down.

Darkworld, please do me a favor and run http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/96879-blue-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html use option #2 and click the 'Grab All' button and give it a few minutes to get all of the information, then upload the ZIP file. I'll take a look and see if there is anything I can see.
