    Hi, I'm noticing some weird on screen effects when using my Satellite A100 in Windows XP. The laptop has an Intel 945 graphics chip, and I'm using the latest drivers from the Intel site. Using Vista on the same system has no issues, but in XP (with all updates and drivers), I get this weird popup / flicker effect at random points, too quick to film or see what appears, but often enough to be a nuisance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but I can provide more details on request. Thanks.

    Bump please? I've noticed that this also includes problems with the computer randomly taking a long time to wake up from sleep, and the screen randomly going blank at times, needing to enter sleep and then wake the computer to fix it. These problems only seem to happen while running on battery, never on AC power.
