SILVERADOSS Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 There something running in windows... I don't see it but every few seconds the hour glass comes up. And the screen that I am using loses priority. What could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Have you looked in the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) under the Applications tab or, if not there, under Running Processes and look for anything that comes up corresponding with the appearance of the hour glass?

Sec Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Does this happen on startup?

andsome Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Does this happen on startup? If so i suggest using MSCONFIG to see whats running.Start -> Run -> msconfigfor more information visit: http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/index.htmlThe problem with this is that the average user will not know what should or should not run. MUCH BETTER to download Startup Inspector. With this small free program you can select CONSULT, and you will be told whether the program is needed on startup or not, and you can then stop the program from starting. All that is needed should you want to use that program later is a click on its icon.A lot of members on this forum have found this program to be invaluable.DOWNLOAD HERE.
