Re: Hourglass flashes every couple of minutes

Hi,

Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? If so, To open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the
Norton Antivirus icon in the Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton
Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger or
Windows Messenger (depending on version) and click OK.
