HP machines are built well with good hardware, usually. Unfortunately
all I haver ever worked on are bundled with some lousey software and
maintanence programs that ruin what would normally be a good machine.
Solution I have found: Wipe the drive, get a copy of the OS you want to
run and start from scratch using NONE of the software that came with the
machine....but this will void your warrenty of course...it is not
Vista...it is something going on with the machine...probably part of the
software bundle.

That's probably the best idea I've heard yet. I was going to do a
system restore, but I've got Vista x64, so maybe I'll just do that.
Definitely don't need any/all of HP's shovelware. Of course, maybe I'll
just go nuts and run the Windows 7 beta...
