After Effects running TERRIBLY on HP Pavillion DV8 notebook - Please Help!

Andrew - thanks for the attempt, but these things don't clear up the issue.  I have tried pulling out the openGL plug, run it with multiprocessing on and off, and any drivers beyond the one that I have (and there are only three little version increments that I could find) will not install due to HP's restrictions.  I'd have a hard time believing that it was simply the driver though with everything else working well, and with this happening with all GPU acceleration turned off.

Todd - I read the article, interesting stuff and I will keep these points in mind, but even if I strip everything down and don't turn on multi-processing (thereby nullifying the the main points of the article, I think) I still have the problem.  I DO have a wacom driver and tablet installed, but this is happening even when I use just an MS mouse or even the track pad.  Why do you ask?  Could the wacom driver have something to do with it? (It is an intuos 3)

But I do appreciate the attempts.  Any other ideas?  Anyone else?  Again please help

Well sunuvagun, that did it.  Yeah I saw that thread you referred me to a little after I replied again.  So that plus your advice lead me to try stripping out wacom and it worked.  Sadly I had to completely uninstall the driver, as the Windows 7 task manager wouldn't let me end the process myself (HIGHLY. ANNOYING...anyone with a workaround to that I'm all ears).

So, uhhhhhh, I guess I go without a tablet until this gets sorted!?!  Bummer

But at least AE works

Thanks Todd

Just a little FYI:

Wacom has updated their driver.  Everything seems to be working fine now.

If you were having problems similar to mine go download the new driver!!!
