259869	2004-08-09 05:25:00	Where is it on the taskbar? Do you have a screenshot?	Growly (6)

259871	2004-08-09 06:22:00	What happens if you hover the cursor over it - any pop up ballons? Also try right-clicking on it and see what options you get. This may give you a clue to its origin. Do you have incredimail installed? A blinking bell can indicate an update is available for this program.	Jen C (20)

259874	2004-08-14 02:52:00	It appeared at Startup on the Notification Bar. But I think I've solved the problem. It seems to have been connected with Incredimail. I found I could stop it at Startup by going to Run/msconfig/Startup and 'unticking' Incmail. It then started to appear whenever I used Incredimail - so I have gone to taskbar menu/ properties/ customize and set álways hide'. Thanks.	MANZIANA (1932)
259875	2004-08-14 02:57:00	Hovering over it gave the message "Take advantage of the Hot Summer Sale". Right click gave the two option menu: Open Message ; Leave it. I did not attempt to open it .I don't think it's doing any harm - it was just annoying me. Now it's still 'there', but I can't see it. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.	MANZIANA (1932)
259876	2004-08-14 03:55:00	Your using the free version of Incredimail, right? That thing is trying to make you buy the full version. Hope that helps :)	mr_rix (5375)
