If this happens whilst processing jobs try

Preferences ->Behaviour->Job Priority - Low
Preferences->Miscellaneous->Max. simultaneous... jobs - 1
Preferences->Miscellaneous->Limit the max. simultaneous... - unchecked

I'm wondering if your Win7 system might have been quad core and your lappy is dual

Default values of the above are Normal, 3 and checked

I find I 'can get more done in a day' if I run 'batch' like jobs at low priority, one at a time; not just in Calibre, everything. Calibre is great because you can de-fang it with its own settings, most other programs I have to do it externally.
