I'm seeing the same issue, also on a HP laptop, a HP 6910p with a Core2Duo 2.0GHz processor (can't remember the exact model). It has been this way for as long as I can remember (at least a year), but I haven't checked into the matter more closely. Are you running the latest current? I haven't updated in a while, so perhaps the issue has been resolved... Regards! -- Niclas
