Hi, I am a newbie to Vista, Vista Home Premium on an Acer notebook to be precise. After a startup and login this appears on my desktop:
Server Busy
This action cannot be completd because the other program is busy. Choose "Switch To" to activate the busy program and correct the problem.
buttons: Switch To... Retry Cancel

It is not possible to close the window and the Cancel button is grayed out.

I can run other programs without a problem but the message remains on the desktop. I have run AVG Free 8.5 and it finds nothing.

Is this a security problem or some program run amuck. Any suggestions on getting rid of it?

I think this would be due to some malware. Since the branded people go wrong in most of the cases. Many blame that panda, avg and norton are not to that extent as they expected. I would like to suggest you to uninstall Avg and try out this package http://www.mycuredcomputer.com/. I am using this package for a good period of time, until today I haven't faced any problem that were happening earlier before installing this package.

If this is not caused by malware (it is entirely possible it is though), than some processes running are not stable and conflicting, try installing the latest OS updates. If updates do not solve it try seeing what processes you have running at startup and start eliminating what you can and see if the message goes away, assuming it is not a corrupted OS, when you end the conflicting process it should disappear after you click retry, or it might dissapear on its own.
