Well, to solve your cooling problem, go to Fry's Electronics, Best Buy, Circuit City,
Etc. and ask for a laptop cooling pad (with fans). They will know what you mean.
The USB powered ones are ideal. Now about the other problem with win32k, I hoped
it wouldn't come to it, but my problem is with bad RAM. You see, I have a bad problem
with cooling in my hp pavillion ze4400, and so the ram has been damaged. So I went
out to Fry's and got the cooling pad, hoping this would fix it, but it turns out
I was too late. So I must now go out and buy new RAM :( Oh well! I'll just crazy
upgrade to a bunch more ram than I have, and it will be fresh, new and undamaged.
