I have a HP 8710w laptop running XP Professional. &nbsp;Sporadically the quick launch bar will &quot;freak out&quot; and open over a hundred calculators in a matter of seconds, the volume control bar will lower and raise on its own and the HP support center opens. &nbsp;The only solution I have been able to find on the web so far is to reinstall the quick launch bar and remove the battery for 5 minutes. &nbsp;

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
