    Hi,
    I just got my HEL80, installed everything normally (Windows XP home then SP2, then drivers) but I think there is a problem.
    Let say im listening to music, and installing something, the sound will cut from time to time. Or if I'm doing multiple things, my laptop freezes for a couple seconds/minutes.
    Is there a dual core patch that I should install?

    Make sure your copy of XP is fully updated. Also make sure your Computer is listed as a ACPI Multiprocessor PC under the device manager.

    Contact the reseller to see what they say?
