    I bought this laptop whilst I was overseas (I know, probably stupid thing to do) and anyway it was going ok for about a month. Now I notice that often the cursor just freezes in the same spot on the desktop. I have tried both with and without mouse being connected. The only way I can get out of this is to reboot the computer.

    Also, many timed when I start it up I get this message Server busy with message saying "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch to..." to activate the busy program and correct the problem"

    Well I click on "Switch to.." and sometimes it rectifies itself, othertimes the message keeps popping back up.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    I have bought this laptop just a week ago and i don't have this problem but the subwofer doesn't work in windows vista, just when i start it in arcade mode.
    have you tried to install windows xp or other OS?
