    I noticed that my M17x was really slow when doing cold boot. I checked Windows' power settings - it was at high performance. I used Stealth Mode Indicator - it said Stealth Mode disabled. I even tried the "power drain" but it did not solve the problem. The only way is to press the "cpu meter" on media buttons and click OK to enable Stealth Mode -> restart and then press that button again and click OK to disable Stealth Mode -> restart, then go to BIOS to enable the discrete VGA cards; after that, the laptop was fast again. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    P.S.: I still have the old command center that is in the Driver DVD and I have upgraded OSD to 2.21 - A03.
