Did you try running AssaultCube full screen? Aero can be pretty odd at times.

Like macm has stated, it's probably a gfx driver issue.
I had this problem on just about every windows version.
Does it start out normal high, then shoot downwards quickly?

Maybe its a RAM issue, 7 needs more than Vista.

Windows 7 often installs microsoft versions of your graphics card driver as has been said here already you need to update it. Do not go to system and update it there! Go directly to the web site of your graphics card manufacturer and load the drivers from there, I am willing to bet that resolves the problem.
On a side issue 60fps really? there are many really cheap graphics card that will get you into the 150-200 range, i would recomend the ATI Radeon HD5450 its cheap (less than £30) and will give great performance and is built for Windows 7, there are many other too, far too many to mention but there you go....

This.
You can check if you have the Microsoft driver by opening AC and looking at the console window, look for where it says "Renderer: ..."
It'll have "GDI Generic (Microsoft Corporation)" or something similar if you have the MS driver.

Yeah, it starts of at 30 and drops to 7 in under 5 seconds.
@Frogulis: It's running the Microsoft Driver, but I don't know why because I just updated my graphics driver last week. I'm going to try doing it again though.
Thenks gais. Will report back.
Okay, HP doesn't offer Windows 7 drivers for the C700/C770TU and the Intel site says they're up to date. Wat do?

I had a similar problem with the latest display drivers for my Radeon card. I can't guarantee this'll work for you, but I'd give it a go anyway:
Search for 'Change Device Installation Settings' in the start menu. Pick the option "No, let me choose what to do' and check "Never install driver software from Windows Update".
After this, uninstall your drivers as you normally would and then go to Device Manager. From there, you expand the 'Display adapters' section, right click 'Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family Video/Graphics Driver' (I'm assuming that's what you have at the moment), and click Uninstall.
I'd also recommend using this to clear anything else related to those drivers from your computer:

Reboot your computer, and
install these drivers for win7 (found this with a quick google search, so try it at your own risk):

Actually, you should probably just get it directly from Intel.
HTH.

Well with 60 fps he probably has vsync enabled.
But, you cant just install the intel driver software of a site like the geforce ones?
