Does Sp1 fix window closing/opening lag/issue?

This is what i'm taking about YouTube - Windows 7 Aero Lag YouTube - Windows 7 RC1 RTM Aero Lag .If yes I will install the beta right away

You need to install the RTM version rather than continuing to use the RC version... Im not even sure that the up coming SP will install on your version...

Sorry forgot to change my profile.I have The RTM installed

I've never seen an aero lag like that before opening or closing a window. That seems to indicate a driver problem or a very slow video card...i don't think the SP1 is going to resolve that issue.

I am running Win 7 ultimate 64bit and am not having that first prob. I do however see windows going up-down before opening.Suspect Aero w/ high performance settings.You could try to go into Control Panel-System-Advanced Settings will open new window= system properties,under Advanced tab first section= Performance-Visual Effects, turn off some of the fancy stuff like animate controls in windows and animate windows when opening,show shadows under windows. Check this and see if it picks up. If it does keep it this way if you prefer performance over appearance.Settings can always be set back to original.(i.e.=Let Windows choose whats best for my Computer) Hope this might help you. If not post back.

I have two 8800 GTS's in SLi ,4 GB ram and E8400 at 4000 mhz so this is not a performance problem. I'm using the latest nvidia driver and tried at least 15 different nvidia drivers from 182.xx till 197.xx . I used vista on the same computer and everything worked perfectly.It has to be a windows bug.I saw windows 7 on 5 different systems all with the same problem.

Has anyone installed SP1 and does not have windows 7?

I might be inclined to run a test on your harddrive because I've seen them cause problems just like this.

I'm assuming you have googling this one quite a bit already?

Honestly, I've never seen this happen. I've run Windows 7 on laptops, desktops, almost all of which use Nvidia cards and I used the Beta, the RC1 and am now on the RTM. Never did an SLI setup though.

I tested 2 different Hard drives. 1 older seagate 250 gb and a brand new 500 GB seagate

I'm clearly not the only one with this problem.I saw a lot of people on other forums who experience this issue.

That is odd. I have Windows 7 on 4 pc's (2 notebooks, 2 desktops) with cpu's ranging from a 2.5GHz Core2Duo, 2 T9800 C2D's in the notebooks, and a 2.67GHz Core2Quad in one of the desktops, with video hardware ranging from Intel mobo graphics to a NVIDIA 9800GT. Two Dell desktops, two Sony Vaio notebooks.

None of them exhibit this behavior.

I only have 1.8Ghz CPU .and Intergrated GPU ...but never expirience that lag ..

 

[Zidane24]

neither have I

Which indicates (and I will reiterate previous comments) that this is a GFX issue (cause AERO is rendered on the GPU) and not an issue with Windows itself

If it was a Windows issue....the issue would be represented by the whole....not a select few

Here is a thread in the Microsoft social forums discussing this problem;
Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

Edit: There don't appear to be answers.

I do not know if this is your problem but i did find an article about doing this on purpose:
Make your windows minimize & maximize in slow motion in Windows 7 | The Windows Club
So maybe some in your reg that is causing this to happen ??

 

[yetyhunter]

It can't be a hardware issue because it happens on various machines with completely different specs,and since vista worked fine it has to be a W7 issue.

saw something interesting in the thread you posted:to try windows vista drivers instead w7
If you have any other suggestion will be happy to test.
Someone who has this issue should try SP1 and see if it's fixed.

Not true at all....why isn't this a global issue? Why isn't this a critical bug? Why does this affect an extremely limited population of Windows 7 machines. Vista and 7 have a DIFFERENT driver framework....even if Vista drivers work for 7....the compatibility is not 100% there

The people here are very helpful and would certainly give this a shot. However, my point before was that I have never read about this issue on these forums...so I don't think it's impacting users here....so there might not be anybody able to test for you.

 

[yetyhunter]

What is strange is that this happens only when closing or opening and does NOT happen when minimizing or maximizing.

Any other suggestions? Please
