Have you tried to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del once to see a list of the processes running?

Is this an occurence every day and after rebooting?... Anything in the a: drive at all? If you recently had any program open that had to read that drive it may still be intermittently searching if you're using that program for something else... As in a photo program...
Good luck |

Try clearing the recently used documents list, this may help.

There is a way to stop this, I just can't remember it right now, I still have the book at home (More win 98 secrets - ISBN: 0764533606) that has the method in it.
Send me a IM to remind me to look it up if you do not have quick access to the book, (won't be home from work for 9 hours) or maybe someone else on the list can get it for you.....? |

Click on Start->Run. Does it start with A:\xxxxx? If so, type something else there like msconfig...

Control Panel>Systems> Device Manager>Properties>Drive>Properties
you can set it to check for new drivers each time system boots May be what you mean. |
