Maybe some other graphics settings are the problem such as texture resolution. Are you using 3.9 or 5?

Also if you never figured it out aero is that glassy overlay for windows explorer and taskbar. For whatever reason it has been known to cause issues with ffr. It is said to be trying to switch desktop rendering from the cpu to a gpu so I guess that is fucked up somewhere. You can turn it off by switching your theme to classic or basic.

The reason I suggest windows 8 is because they simply strip out aero entirely and get rid of all the unnecessary desktop animations. Perhaps they also fixed the desktop being rendered with a gpu. I have no idea, but sm runs great on my subpar win8 laptop that never could on win7.
