- Yup, that's what it does alright! This is a problem that has been reported
- several times (by myself). It stems mainly from something that has to do
- with the graphics card that the series 300/400 uses (catseye). So far none
- of the attempted patches have fixed it.
-
- I'll save your mail address and if it's ever fixed I'll be sure to mail
- you what the patch is. If it's any consolation, it works fine on the s700's.
- Trouble is it's too fast!!!

- I don't speak for HP, just as one Bzone player to another.
