    [Active] Windows32.exe

    Posted in another forum. No action taken other than to direct me to this forum.
    Frequently, overlapping blank windows pop up on my screen for a instant, no problem AFIK other than annoying.
    Screen header reads: C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe.
    Anyone know how to make my annoyance go away?

    Thanks.

    Windows 32 annoyance

    I am computer stupid. (phd in stupidity) I read the stuff, don't understand it.
    Staples did a clean up as did a local "guru" and I still have the problem.
    You probably can't solve the problem so I will just keep on being annoyed by it.

    Thanks anyway.

    I must apologize to the group. I feel that a little personal information is due for you to understand my position.
    I have a condition now called ADHD, not diagnosed until age 75. This is the reason I have difficulty understanding and following directions. I often forget, CRS it is called.
    I failed ninth grade and never returned to school. I feel my knowledge is very good but I must read instructions several times to get them to soak in.
    I printed out the instructions for posting in the forum and read them four times. They are very precise and well written. I understand you people are working in the dark and need all the information requested.
    I am not very good with computer terms and a couple in the instructions I do not fully understand, i.e. "Be prepared to post logs from those tools....we will probably ask for them." Where do I get these logs?
    "Disable any script blocking protection." What is this?
    I will now go and tackle DDS.
    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Log on to your thread here on WindowsBBS. Then open each file in turn by double clicking on it and it should open in Notepad. In Notepad click on Edit in the menu bar and click on Select All - the text will be highlighted. Click on Edit again and select Copy. Return to your thread here and in the message window right click and select Paste - the contents of the log will be pasted into the message pane.

    Repeat for the second log and hit the Submit button. If your logs are particularly long you may need to post each in a separate post.
