Aero is Suddenly Causing Problems

[Guest]

Today my Toshiba Satellite started to run very very slowly. I had a few large
programs running, so I opened Task Manager to see what was taking up so much
CPU and I closed down Photoshop and Firefox. But it was the window manager
that was using so much CPU... so I switched off Aero and everything is
running fine. But everything has been fine up until now. The only thing I can
think of is that i updated my nvidia drivers for my GeForce Go 7900 the other
day when 100.64 came out, but it went the past 2 days without causing
problems. Whats up?

There were a couple of posts in other groups with this same problem
recently. I would recommend that you roll back to the previous driver.

So you've got a display related issue a few days after changing display
drivers? I'd have said the most likely cause of the issue was pretty clear.
