If it happens in 2K8 but NOT in Vista, It might be this….

..there should be a key called “SystemResponsiveness”. 100 [0x64] is the defeault for Server 2008, however 20 [0x14] is default for Vista. I set mine to 20, rebooted, and it fixed my stuttering sound problem when playing WMA file and ALT+TAB for instance.

Give it a go and let us know =)

I gave it a try and it still doesn’t work. I messed with the visual settings using SystemPropertiesPerformance. That doesn’t work either. I believe this to be a problem with Nvidia’s driver. Hopefully, they will fix it. Otherwise, I will get an ATI card to replace this one.

I noticed this problem too. For me, it really started happening after I hooked up my dual monitors and went to 1280x 1024 on both monitors. When I had it hooked up to my old CRT and was running one monitor with a resolution of 1024×768, I had no problem. I turned off Aero and when to Windows Vista Basic and it works perfectly. I loose the transparency, etc., but I have aboslutly no problems now.

I am running the latest drivers from Nvidia and I have a Quadro NVS 285 in my workstation. It only has 128MB of RAM, but I had no problems running this setup with Vista 32bit. I am running 2008 64bit now.

For me, I can live without the Aero features for now. If you are having the same issues, you might try switching to Windows Vista Basic. 😀
