Yes Dave. I either overlooked the small Tasks link with that large Tasks Tab staring me in the face, assumed they were the same or got focused on something else - slept once since then :-)
It would have saved me from being on hold about an hour too :-(
I would imagine there are a lot of HP 2012 model PCs that have similar problems. Mine are g6t and dv6 series Notebooks.
Thanks,
