A computer at my church is having a weird problem. The cursor starts flashing. It is an arrow, then the hourglass, then the arrow, etc. It blinks back and forth about once or twice a second. I had thought it was modem-related (started after anattempt to connect), but that does not appear to be the case. I tried Ctrl-Alt-Del to see if there was something weird running, but everything there is supposed to be there. It looks, of course, like something is running in the background, tying up the system over and over, but I can’t figure out how to find it. I have run a virus scanner (McAfee, latest dats) and found nothing. System config:
(as much as I remember) – it’s a Gateway, PIII-500. 64 Meg RAM, running Win98SE. It’s on a small P2P network with two other machines. It is pretty consistent, doesn’t appear to start or stop for any observable reason. Any ideas at all? Naturally, I’ll provide whatever other info you want to help with troubleshooting.
