Strange Icon At Startup

When I start my Vista 32 bit machine, and the desktop comes up after a few
seconds this weird Icon appears for a few seconds usually in between 2
existing Icons on the screen. It's in the shape of a silver letter 'A' with
rounded top left and right corners.
I have tried to capture it using the "print screen" key but when I go into
my graphics program and paste the image everything comes up except this
Icon.
I have tried clicking on it but it does nothing.

Any ideas?

Bob D.

If screen capture doesn't see it it sounds like a hotkey overlay...?
Is this on a laptop?

I was finally able to capture this ICON but the newsgroup will not let me
post it since it's an attachment. I guess for security reasons.
Oh well.

True of most news servers and groups.

Post it on a web site and post the link here.

Look for YouSendIt if you don't have a place of your own to put it.

Actually, no - that's for e-mailing. I believe there are free sites
where you can temporarily post a file, however. Sorry, I don't know
them, so you'll have to Google, unless someone else posts a link.
