I found the article, but it is not for Windows XP and I
can't find out how to disable auto play in XP.
Although, I never had this problem until SP2.
The auto play window w/ searching flash light pops up
approx. every 5 secs. It then quickly goes away before I
can push the cancel buttom.
I'm also having a problem w/ a constantly blinking
hourglass on my pointer since SP2. Can't find anything
in the knowledge base on that either.
