....[invisible TSR]
If you aren't familar with the terms above, I must be in the wrong
group.

Wrong, Andy.
Todd is most certainly familiar with MEM and TSRs.
Each OS has its own quirks. Knowing which particular version you are using
(and from your header you're using XP) allows us to eliminate some of the
posibilities. It also allows us the opportunity to say which group is more
appropriate, if that is the case.
Knowing which TSR allows us to load it and check out your problem. Most of
the regulars in this group and related groups are old-style hackers - in the
original sense, prepared to spend a vast amount of time on investigating and
solving mysteries.
Wrong group? Very likely. Probably alt.msdos.batch.nt would be better - but
had you been using W9x or DOS, then alt.msdos.batch would be a better
choice. Many alt... regulars keep an eye on this group too. Same people -
but different frame-of-mind. Same as you don't keep sheets and shirts and
socks all in a drawer labelled "cloth things." Or maybe you do...
Had you simply responded "XYZ" and I'm using XP, then we could help further.
As it is, you're none the wiser, the problem still exists and people have
the impression that you're more interested in playing 20 questions than in
solving your problem. If you're not prepared to answer simple questions,
then don't be surprised when others conclude that it's not worth their time
responding.
