Cursor Problem

[kimmy707]

The circle (that used to be the hourglass) just keeps popping up near my
cursor, even when I'm not doing anything, and it's very annoying. Can anyone
tell me what the problem might be? thanks!!

It means that some background program is doing a lot of work. It could be an
update downloading, or routine system tuning, antivirus scanning, or just
about anything.

Next time it happens, open the Start menu, type in perfmon.exe, and press
Enter. The Performance Monitor will show you which programs are using up
your processor, memory, or hard disk bandwidth.

I have exactly the same problem. Also my screen saver does not activate now.
The screen goes blank. Any help for us would be appreciated
