I couldn't agree more. I have encountered this problem more than once on many systems.
I have never found away around the problem you describe other than to re-install the windows software from scratch.
I now have a friend who has this problem, but he doesn't want to reinstall the operating system.
If anyone has a solution to this, please let me and 'HP Sucks' know.
