Seems to change when I move the MS Cordless mouse, but continues even if I remove batteries in mouse. Have restarted, have rationalised startup programs, restarted. No change. Noticed it when I use Studio PCTV to record some video, but have removed device and still does it (and restarted). Nothing else has really changed. Any suggestions? r e t	Guest (0)

I have a TV card that works very well except that every time the PC is started static comes through the speakers until the TV application is started and stopped. Might be worth trying.	Guest (0)

It will kill added programmes that run in the background. (kill MDM for better system performance) also go here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run Any entries you delete here will stop programmes running at windows startup.

They have been around for ages (Zonealarm, NAV, mouse, sort of thing only about five in total). Thanks, anyway, Gerard. Any other suggestions? Driving me nuts, have to turn down speaker so low I can't hear if I have email. Cheers, r e t	Guest (0)
