ehtray process ,screen saver stars working. Anybody know how to fix.

Hi zoeymay,

Ehtray is a normal system process associated with Media Center. I've not
encountered any problems with the screensaver running while it does, but you
can disable it from loading on the startup tab of MSCONFIG (just enter this
into the search prompt).

You might also check that the file has not been altered by malware. Click
start and type ehtray into the prompt. Right click the topmost entry in the
start menu and select properties. The file size should be 139776 bytes

Thanks Rick.
My file size is only 126976. This is a new Dell, 3 weeks old, running Vista
Pre. Very unhappy with the new os. I'm going to try and see if I can find
just the one file on their restore disk and check the size.
