Cursor/Hourglass

[Guest Gus Zernial]

My WinXP cursor continually blinks between cursor and hourglass. I

assume there's some running process causing this. How do I track down

that process and thereafter hopefully get5 rid of the problem?

First make sure that the computer is completely virus/malware-free:

If the machine is clean and still has the problem, do clean-boot

troubleshooting:
