Computer interruptions due to something running all the time

[Guest]

How do I find out what is running on my computer every time I turn it on
(every couple of seconds the hourglass appears)? I am unable to play any
games because my computer keeps pausing as the hourglass appears.

Press Cntrl + Alt+ Delete to bring up the task manager and see what
running. Also disable unwanted items from loading at boot usin
start>Run>MSCONFIG utility, u can check ur start up list here

Also keep your system free from spyware and viruses, run updated scans
Make sure the HD is clean and defragmented. Run the disk clean up an
defrag.

What anti-virus installed and does it automatically update virus
definitions?

What anti-spyware programmes are you using?

What Firewall are you using?

Is the Windows XP SP2 update installed?
