I am, now, getting the "flashlight search" whenever I click on "my computer" in Explorer. The search eventually locates all the computer devices and shows them. However, if I click out and leave "my computer", go to the desktop and then re-click on "my computer" I get the flashlight again. What's going on?
 
The computer OS is searching for info.,try opening device mgr.,look for yello
caution displays by the hardware icons,if none exist,go to run,type:cm
In cmd type:Sfc /Scannow When the bar graph starts insert xp cd,exit the inf
page.When its thru,remove cd,type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree to restart,then type:EXI
Restart computer,you should also run the DOS window in min.,sometimes the grap
runs behind it at first.
 
Hi,

Try this: Start/run msconfig, go to the services tab and uncheck the line
loading Windows Image Acquisition. Click apply/ok and reboot, see if this
helps.
