I installed Windows XP on a Dell Latitude L400 and have had no problems. I
just upgraded the laptop to a 40GB HD and reinstalled Windows XP and now
periodically it will get "stuck" - I can click and try to run apps from the
start menu, but nothing happens for a couple of minutes, then everything I
clicked on opens at once. It's as if Windows is queueing up all mouse events
for a while. If I switch back to my original HD everything is ok, so I can't
imaging it's a hardware problem. The event view doesn't show anything wrong
and the device manager doesn't show any unknown devices or problems.

Not sure what the solution is here. Thanks.
