I submitted an almost identical post a few weeks ago. Krister's Suggestion is the ticket. My mini is brand new with 4 gb of ram. I connected a monitor and every little trouble, especially the busy disappeared. I understand being reluctant to connect a monitor, but based on my recent experience, you'll be amazed with the difference. I didn't try just using the adapter, it may work, but the monitor changes everything for sure.
