I recently bought a new desktop Gateway FX 6800, and I have noticed that whenever I open My Computer window, my mouse keeps blinking from the standard arrow to the "waiting status" circle, all the time! Blinking between these two, it seems like its working on soemthing but I really can't see what my computer is running anything else. Does any1 have a clue about it? THank you very much!

Look at your Task Manager and see what is up:

right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager

Process tab: what is being used here?

I just checked the process tab when I have my "My Computer" Opened, and the only two things to be having activities were the Task Manager and the Explorer, but they were all between 0 to 2 in the CPU column. So i dunno,, does that mean that nothing is actually running at the background and thus should I disregard this wierdo issue? :O
