annoying p'uter

Hi,

Great web site. I have a problem with my computer I just can not figure out and it is so annoying . I am running XP pro. I will try to explain it the best i can . When i am in a folder , dosen't matter which one and looking at something in the middle of the folder , all of a sudden the computer " refreshes " itself and blinks then then what I am looking at is the top of the folder. So then I have to scroll down to where I was. I hope I was clear and somebody has an idea as to why my p'uter is doing this.

thanks



Drew

startuplist look ok...................i think its just a bug in xp.........ive seen this listed in other forums with no real answers.........i would jsut keep xp updated,maybe microsoft will find a fix.
you look as though youve done enogh your end security wise........avg and blackice are good programs to help keep the nasties away.
keep your eyes on this thread..........maybe someone will come up with more.
good luck

 

OK,

thanks for looking. I will keep an eye on this posting.

thanks
