Disabling aero didn't fix my problem as I haven't been running aero since about 5 minutes after I installed vista. As for my computer, it's not slow at all. I bought a brand new 256mb video card and had so many issues with Continuum. It drove me to the point where I didn't even use it for Continuum. As for other games, it worked fine. I'm not saying that this is your problem, but it's something to look into. Do you have any on-board video you can try?
