Thanks to all for all the advice. I have event sounds for several
windows events and one is for the Open Program event. That
thing was triggering every 60 seconds and I did all I could to
disable messenger. It was getting very frustrating. In fact messenger
was pissing me off big time!

Thanks again,
James
