    Hey everyone,

    I've got a issue that i've been struggling with for some time now. i've spoken to HP about it twice now and they give me fixes that do nothing.

    My desktop is set to auto hide my task bar, when the computer is sitting idle for any amount of time from about 5 minutes and up, the screen wakes up, the mouse moves but when i scroll over the bottom of the screen, the task bar takes a couple minutes to reappear. it seems like it just lags to respond but the mouse moves.

    I have no idea whats causing it. Any help you guys can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Some background processes might take precedent to the Task Bar when the system comes back from idling. Review them and set priorities

    cheers ...
