    Hi,

    I recently did a clean installation of Windows XP on my dv5000z. Everything seems to have gone great, except for the fact that everything seems slower. Graphics are slow to load many times. Also, when I close out of certain applications, they don't just dissapear, but they slowly scroll of the screen. Also, one thing I've noticed is that when importing cd's into itunes, the speed is rarely ever more than 4.5x's. Before the installation, it would commonly get up to the 10-12 range. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Did you install all of the drivers for the system?
