Slow and laggy

from Stardock Forums

I expirence laggy desktop managment in Windows when WindowFX 5.12 is enabled.

I don't have the fastest SSD on the market although it runs Windows 7 smooth, both boot and everything else runs really smooth and fast.

I don't know what is the bootleneck here making my WindowsFX expirence laggy, so much noticable that I prefer turning it off.

Is it the low read/write speed of the SSD or something else in the hardware that isn't optimal for WindowFX?

Or is it something in Windows Visual effects preferences I need to turn off, so it doesn't interfere with each other?

 

Windows 7 Pro x64

AMD Phenom II X4 965 (3400 Mhz)

2x4 GB memory

OCZ-Vertex2 (SSD)

Windows Expirience Index: 7.4

CPU: 7.4

Memory: 7.5

Disk: 7.6

Graphics: 7.4

WindowFX requires good video hardware which is something you have not listed.  Also how many monitors do you have?

A SSD makes no difference to WindowFX.

CPU would be nice to know, as well. Ram?

Sorry, it's AMD HD7700.

I expirienced better performance turning off some Visual Effects in System Control Panel, although I don't know which ones I should turn off, and have others on. If I turn off all, WindowsFX will not even perform. So I need to know which settings WindowsFX runs on it's own, so those I will turn off in Windows.

Maybe update your GFX driver?

I just turned off Windows Search service, it seems to have fixed the issue, strange...
