Hour-glass pops-up every five seconds?

Thanks for the advice... I tried the advice, but couldn't find anything out of order, nor added... I scanned the OS for bugs... It's clean... I used a McAfee's antique Uninstaller's "power clean", to open the cursors file, opened each hourglass file, deleted the contents, saved a blank file, rebooted, and still the problem persisted... So I did a find search for hour glass files, and deleted all the files it found, and the problem vanished, and strangely the regular hourglass cursor still works like it's supposed to... Problem's fixed.. but whatever was causing it is probably still active somewhere in this PC... Probably just a harmless little glitch that will stay in the PC till I one day again format C... In backtracking, All I can say for sure, is that it might have been caused by the HP printer CD install, or the Avast anti-virus software install..? Avast glitched-up the PC, so I had to dump it...
