Disable aero but leave aeropreview on?

[QUOTE=johanz;19214094]Screens/benches of what? FPS is exactly the same windowed and fullscreen, but in windowed mode it's very jaggy and unsmooth, but in fullscreen it runs like it's supposed to run.[/QUOTE]

either a placebo or something else, either way it has nothing to do with aero

If you want to turn off Aero when you're gaming, go to the game exe's properties > compatibility > Disable desktop composition.

It feels like I have low fps but really it's 100+

Can someone confirm this? If that's the deal, I am installing XP[/QUOTE]

I have 7 on an old laptop with 300someMB of RAM. Runs flawlessly.

Damn noticable placebo. If aero is on, games shutter awfully, if aero is off, they run almost flawlessly with some shuttering.

You could just disable transparency, although I doubt it would do anything much.

Fun fact. Even if you disable the transparency that way DWM still renders the same. The transparency isn't controlled via the control pane but rather an offset in the msstyles. This is how you can get transparency in Vista Home Basic :)

Any confirmation about if the problem was solved?
To anyone else: UPDATE EVERYTHING, then come back and ask for help if it doesn't work.

Maybe the monitor he's running the game in windowed mode on, has a low refresh rate?

Other question: Can you disable aeropreview but leave aero on? I found that you can increase the time it needs until it's being displayed, but that doesn't works. Also that group policy thing doesn't works as well.

I'm pretty sure it could be done on Vista, but I half doubt Win 7 will let you, considering it's partly how the superbar works (Yes I know there is the old text grouping ala XP in classic/not aero mode)
