I have the same type problem with the hour-glass cursor... in this here tiny irritating 
little glitch on my computer, that I just can't peg-down to delete... It pops-up 
in my face while I'm writing...

I'm running W98se (a fresh load), 128 Ram, 500 htz...  Every five-seconds the little 
hour-glass cursor comes-on for a second, even if the system is left idle for an hour... 
 I have done registry cleanups, uninstalled all the updaters I could find..  I ran: 
Free Registry Cleaner, CCleaner, CMCleaner, Spybot, Node32, and did a regedit search 
and destroy for web-links..  and still the little hour-glass pops-up every five-seconds... 
 I tried to stop it in mouse settings...  I can't think of anything else to try..?

It's a pain in the face when I'm trying to write on a roll.. It damages my focus... 
 I suppose over-kill would be to delete the hour-glass from the system.. but I'd 
rather just stop what's causing it to repeat.. because I like it when it indicates 
the OS is working on something extensive..  but this persistence is just a bit too-much...

It's as if something is forever trying to connect to the Net, but can't get through 
my personal settings, given that I prefer to do all the updating manually, so an 
update won't be locking-up the keyboard and mouse on me, when it momentarily takes 
all the Ram resources in the middle of a deep-thought roll...

How do I kill this little glitch?..
