Well, what I expected to find was not there....got a screen capture?

Also, right click the desktop, choose properties, choose DESKTOP tab, choose CUSTOMIZE DESKTOP button, choose WEB tab...anything in there?

[AlonzoMosely]

Nope, nothing there. After investigating this for a while, I think its only happening when I have my gmail account opened up in a browser, which I tend to leave open most of the time. Can an email cause that bubble message?? Anyway, I appreciate your help - wish I found this forum a long time ago.
