PC help, WTF Is My Computer Loading
Ok, this is hard to explain, I recently formated due to a virus, so my computer is clean, the same windows program along with the other programs were installed that I had before the format, nothing has changed.
What happens is sometimes I'll be chilling on HMT or other websites or even have nothing active but just the desktop, and the ------- Hour Glass thing will appear by the cursor as if I was loading something, yet nothing is loaded, the performance is still the same, I can still click on stuff and open/close things while this hour glass is there, the only reason i'm bitching about this is it is getting annoying, it stays on for as long as 15 seconds then goes away, then comes back after a while.
I did a scan, everything turns out perfect, what could I do to find out why its doing this.

Turn off windows cacheing or whatever its called, someone else here will know what I'm talking about.
Default by windows it's on, I couldn't burn a DVD without getting buffer underrun errors because it was stealing a lot of my cpu usage
edit: Just remembered, it's called "Window indexing service" I believe..

When it 'hour glasses' go to the task manager and check to see what is hogging up your cpu usage.
Check to see what programs you have running in your startup. Look at the registry settings too. Check under current version run then 'run' if you know what I mean...rough day at work and I don't feel like explaining. sorry.
