Hi everybody, Just about finished w/a fresh install and I've been noticing something I rarely have ever heard before, the ballon pops. But these are like every 20 or 30 minutes and I'm a liitle rattled as to what's causing it. I run both Windows and Yahoo Messenger and I run OE6, but as dar as I know, none of them are set to notify me of e-mails coming in, nor can I imagine what else could be causing these wine bottle like cork pops nearly all the time. Lastly I bugged by the popups that are supposed identify system tray icons when hovered on, they appear behind the darned tray! I've noticed this happenign on and off even on other operating system I've installed, so likely there's no workaround for this as it's what, just another MS bug we have to live with? Regards and hap-e-trails, Steve Hopper

Very cute link that reply. Nothing else better to do? Have since discovered my 'issue' seems nothing more than my new Kaspersky's "finished" wav. Still haven't figured out what it's finishing every 30 or so minutes. Likely something to do with it's realtime scanner. Regards and hap-e-trails, Steve Hopper

rvanhorne - response #2 your link leads to a polish site that cannot be backed out of. are you concluding I'm a Polak? Like I already said, the corp popping wav is simliar to the windows ballon pop wav but distinctly diffiernt, so what's you point? Regards and hap-e-trails, Steve Hopper
