This is an issue alot of people are having, I have the same issue with atleast ten different profiles.
I use the exact same build at home and when i'm away. I use an FTP mirror to make sure the files match exact. On my home PC, misses no nodes, happy days. On my poor performing laptop, misses about 35% of nodes. Stops by them, then just flys on. I notice a lot of issues with HB on my laptop even though I'm using the exact same version/build. This may not be the case for you, but my advice may be to look at some alternative hardware. All the best Jez
