Yes they were. I thought I had a longer VGA lead so I could put the 2nd screen in the other corner, though. 19in on the main one, 2nd one is a 15. It's off the desk though now.

I know, but really, it's fine. As I said, the solution I have works fine with no extra programs needed.

a) you've picked up some spyware &/or other malware from somewhere, or...
b) you have a bunch of unnecessary processes running at startup that were installed by various apps, but do very little [if any] good, & actually bog down/bloat your machine, or...
c) a bit of both.

If you want to sort it out, start a separate thread & I'll help you get it sorted.
It's clean, it's checked daily (well, nightly actually). Most of them are related to anti spyware/virus checker/firewall stuff, as well as things like Windows Desktop Search, WindowBlinds, TopDesk, stuff for audio card, bluetooth, InCD, GetRight, Diskeeper, Everest (to log the temperatures) and the EPG for WinTV. Really, I use them all, so they may as well start up and the PC can cope with it.

Not overly worried by it.
