I noticed that my screen saver was never running ever after I left my
computer unattended for several hours. This is not the problem, but a
sympton of what I believe is the main issue. Every couple of minutes a box
pops up on my task bar for about a second and then disappears. There is no
text in the box so I have no idea what it is. I assume it is some
application that is either trying to run or set to check for something
periodically. That's why the screen saver is not running I guess.
I there anyway to find out what is causing this. I've run Norton Antivirus
(clean) and Microsoft Anti-Spyware and Spybot (also OK). I've look at my
Task Manager and didn't see anything unusual there. I ran MSCONFIG and
disabled any applications (other than system apps and ones that I was
familiar with). I cleared out my "Startup" folder. I don't know what else
to do to track down this rouge application.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
