SP2 - Auto Play Window Keeps Popping Up

Since installing the SP2, I have an "Auto Play" window
that keeps popping up.

I know it is the SP2 because I installed it once and
experienced this problem. I restored to a time before
SP2 was installed. It went away. I installed SP2 a
second time. The problem started again.

Has anyone experienced this?

How do I make it go away?

I turn off autoplay; I don't want the writer of a CD to run a
program on my computer automatically.

Perhaps you are talking about something else?

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.
