Gah! This morning I woke up and my computer is super weird!

When ever I try to minimize or maximize, using anything that has a windows animation it goes super slow. I havent installed anything, and I did a virus check that came up with nothing.

This video shows what i mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug1zFxecPpY

I've updated all my drivers and googled the problem but i cant fins a fix. I've restarted several times and disabled programs but NOTHING WORKS! Anyone have any suggestions?

Specs are:
Quad core 2.44 Ghz
4Gb Ram
GeForce 9600 512Mb RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Also, Another detail I ran the windows experience index and all of a sudden everything has a 7.9 except for my HD. Yesterday the highest was like 7.2 and low was 5.9 I don't know if this means anything, but its strange.

strange. Your index may fluctuate. Perhaps there's an issue with your video card, though your index might have caught that so I dunno.

How well do games run currently?

I'd recommend disabling window animations for better responsiveness, but it's down to personal preference.

Start -> Computer (right-click) -> Properties -> Advanced system settings : Click the settings button under performance. From there you can manually disable separate settings such as window/menu animation, shadows, and more.

That's how I access it on Vista, although for 7 I'd imagine it's largely the same.
