laptop - vista - LCD lid button problem - LCD light doesn't not turn on after opening lid (only once in a while it turns on)

laptop - vista - laggy (she sent it back to hp)

laptop - vista - lost networking / corrupted driver

Setup 3 new HP laptops and a desktop on Vista. No problems at all. Updates grabbed or not?
