Blinking START button

Guest

After upgrading to SP4, running all the Windows Updates (over 45 critical),
the START button continually blinks. Very annoying. User does not want to
"hide" the bar.

I've seen this happen with anti-virus scanner software being a bit
confused in the real time mode. Try Disable as test and reinstall if it
is the cause.

I uninstalled the anti-virus, but it did not resolve the blinking START
button. Any other ideas?

Just an off-the-wall guess, but check the Device Manager list for
unidentified hardware issues. You may need to totally shut down the
system (pull the plug from the electrical outlet for about 10 minutes)
and then restore power and start the system to get the hardware wizard
to kick in and attempt to recognize all items.

If that doesn't resolve it, try removing SP4 and then re-installing it
from a known-good file. If necessary, download a fresh instance of SP4
if you don't have it on CD.

As I said, just a guess.
