   You know the hourglass icon, with the green tips, that flips over every few seconds? I have that icon on my computer/desktop, right now. I don't know why it's there, nor how to remove it. I don't have any open/running programs to justify its presence. Can anyone offer any suggestions or solutions?

   RosnSC, Try restarting your computer, see if that works.

   Maybe it's doing what it is supposed to do, telling you the task is in progress, whatever task that is.

   Might be you don't have enough energy (memory) pumping the needs of your system.

   Is it still going after hours? Check yer running processes to try and see anything out of the ordinary.

   As I mentioned, I checked on the Windows Task Manager, and there were no running programs, except for Compaq_Connections. I did note, however, that this was on the taskbar when the hourglass icon showed up - Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library.

   Oh, and Pookie, I followed your suggestion about restarting my computer, and it did the trick. :)

   Sue - with no hourglass icon showing up, to baffle her...:)
