If you are in win2k just look in taskman and see if anythingunusual
is running.
if there is strange stuff happening, end task it, then find it in you
computer and delete  it.

if your on win98/95 and i think ME.
you cant see "all" running processes, so i have a neat little
utility
somewhere i made in VB which alows you to list ALL running processes
and kill any of them, i think if i can find it, i will add, a kill
and delete button aswell, or a kill and move button.

interested?
