extravaboy Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Try to shut down as much as possible of the background programs running. It might be something that "activates/renews/opens" every five minute...

SPL_Fabrication Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 under your user name, you can close out everything except "explorer.exe" and "taskmgr.exe". make sure you leave all "Local Service", "Network Service", and "System" programs running though.

Jitter Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I know you said it wasnt a popup, but make sure you are spyware or virus free. Also make sure the messenger service is off. This is in no way related to MSN messenger or windows messenger. Goto your control panel, goto administrative tools, then to services. Scroll down to the messenger service, highlight it click on stop in the top left, then right click on it, goto properties, and select disable from the drop down box. This service is totally useless and can cause gray box popups w/ ads that sometimes just dissapear.
