Freezing
And no, I'm not talking about the temps -- it was in the upper 80s here today in Florida!
Has anyone else had a problem with Windows 7 just freezing for a few seconds at a time? Then it does a "hurry up and catch up" thing that drives me nuts. In other words, if I use my scroll wheel on my mouse, nothing will happen, and then all of a sudden after a few seconds, my document will scroll way down. Or if I'm typing, as just happened as I'm typing this note, I will be typing away with nothing on the screen, and all of a sudden this whole string of words will appear.
It's REALLY annoying when I'm switching applications with alt-tab.
Any advice?

Actually, I went to HP's site and think I found it. I did a custom install of Windows 7 over Vista.
