Click to remove the check next to Load Startup Items 7. Click the Apply button""8. Click the OK button. A dialogue box appears prompting you to restart the computer 9. Click the Restart button." "And also do the steps below"
"Click the Start button, and then click Run. The Run window appears. Type msconfig in the Open: field, and then click the OK button.The System Configuration Utility window appears Click the radio button for Selective Startup. Click to deselect Process SYST"
"Click to deselect Load Startup Items. Click the Services tab. The Services pane appears. Click to select Hide All Microsoft Services. Click the Disable All button. Click the OK button. A restart request window appears. Click the Yes button to restart the computer and you should not have that anoying blinking hourglass

Hey Larry old buddy,

Hey Larry old buddy,
I got directed here from another forum member.
Guess what?
I got the answer for my blinker.
One of my "Flash drives" I put in a USB port was trying to get my attention.
After I unplugged it all was well.
I have many that don't do it but I believe it was because I was setting up the security located on the drive and didn't complete it.
None of my other 10 USB Flash Drives do it because I never used the software on the drive.I just stored millions of photos on them and music to save space on my hard drive.
Kind of funny how in cars the turn signals and emergency blinkers are called flashers.
Quite a funny way to remember where to look .LOL
Talk to you later on the web cam.
We can discuss some more recent HDTV fixes.
Your bud.
