Blinking flickering cursor on most start up

[USC T]

Most of the times when I boot up (though not always) my HP Pavilion dv2500t
laptop with Windows Vista Business edition, my cursor seems to be blinking or
flickering. I see the green circle (used to be hour glass in earlier
versions?) at every flicker.

Any idea how to troubleshoot/fix the problem? Is there something trying to
load itself in the background and cannot?

 

[Spirit]

Start - MSCONFIG - Right Click on msconfig.exe

Boot Tab - Advanced Oprtions - Number of Processors
set at the MAX it shows. OK and APPLY your way out.

Reboot.

Of course there still could be a hog loading at startup.

After Boot look in Task Manager to see what loaded.
