Do you know how to switch which GPU you're using on your laptop? You can probably do this via NVIDIA's settings app thing (I don't know what it's called hehe) that most likely came preinstalled on your computer. Try switching it to the Intel HD graphics 3000 (the graphics chip that's built into your processor) if you can. Maybe it's because the NVIDIA graphics card? I'm using Intel HD 4600 and have no problems at all.
It could also just be Windows 7? (someone please confirm or refute this)
Hi! I'm not really active here anymore but I still make music. Nowadays I mostly make dubstep with emphasis on good melodies and chord progressions.

I'm also on Spotify. Search "OllAxe" and you'll find me.

Happens on my current XP laptop, my old XP laptop, and my long-broken 8.1 laptop.

why would windows take all processing power to just a window animation? :B
anyways this is an issue with hardware, its understandable if you have a laptop because those are generally underpowered.
i've never had this issue with a desktop.

Aero in Vista, 7, 8(.1) and 10.
slowly ceasing to exist.
