    Got up this morning and turned on computer then logged in and on the task bar I noticed a small green circle with windows flag. Placed mouse over it and a flag came up saying it was downloading program guide data. After it finished everything was normal. I have never seen this before and wondering what you might think it was?:confused:
    I am running Vista Home Premium.

    A quick search of Google does not show much except it may be related to Macrovision - do you have any TV software - and the ability to view TV on your computer? I'm wondering if it may be a TV guide?

    Anything relating to it in the Vista equivalent of Add/Remove Programs (XP user :)) -

    Edit - looks like Arie nailed it :)

    Yes I have the capability of TV viewing as it came with the package. I am not interested in watching TV from my computer. It was a Media Center download/update.
    Thanks again for the quick response as You,Arie and the BBS Team are the best. I know you do this for free and I and hopefully the rest of the forum appreciates your valuable/priceless input.:)
