OK... weirdness with my new windows 7 box.
whenever I position the cursur into the taskbar, it turns in to the busy cursor circle. I can't operate any of the items in the taskbar, including "Start"
Task manager even things there are no applications running. I've tried a full power off and restart. I'm about to pull the battery and see what is going on. If that does not resolve I'll do a full McAfee scan for viruses.
Any ideas? I did a bunch of google searches but found nothing.
Grrrrr......
I have seen that circle quite a bit... You will see part of it in the top left corner of the Hooters calendar, but I don't see many extended problems with it.
There is a better task manager called Process Explorer by Sysinternals, who works with Microsoft. You can set process explorer to replace your task manager so that when you hit control -alt-del, it will come up instead of task manager - when you open task manager in Win7. It has a graph running at the top of the page that you can run your cursor over to tell you what is using the processor - memory- etc plus a lot more detail that the old task manager. I used it in XP and it seems to work fine in Win7 also. Other than that I am not much help I don't think... [waiting]
Well, a complete de-power "fixed" it. I have this love / hate relationship with my computer.
That is great to know --- I'll try to remember it when I need it... [noidea'
I found the problem, as this happened a few more times. I used the task manager and looked at processes to see what was using cpu / memory. I have a "utility" program that came with this box called "Cinemanow". It appears that it was the problem. I updated the program and am waiting to see if the update fixes the issue. If not, I'm scrubbing that crap off my hard drive. I may do that anyway.
-f-
Funny how a little thing can upset all of that technology.
