Hi,

I appear to be having a strange problem with my laptop. I am having a
constant ticking noise come from my laptop, which would make one think
it is a hard-drive error, but the noise only sounds when I have one
particular application open. The second that application is minimised,
the ticking noise stops and doesn't continue until that application is
opened again - Strange !!

I have checked all settings etc with my laptop and the application, but
cannot seem to cure the problem.

If anyone has heard of this before or is aware of a fix - please
let me know as it is most frustrating !!

Thanks,
SelCo.

What for a application is that? Harddisk intense? Dell has an Firmware
upgrade for HTS Hitachi drives maybe yours needs one, too..
