I'm guessing your running Win98, so as far as I know you don't have an active process list anywhere accessible to the average user, but ctrl+alt+delete does bring up a list of active programs, you should make sure that is blank, except for explorer, and if someone could help me out with the other big one... I'm a little rusty on my 98

Also, I know it's possible to get an active process list with win98, because, don't ask me how I know it's a long story, but Sub7 has an option that shows it, and so does TDS. ( Trojan Defense Suite ) But once again.. I suggest you make sure you disabled your screen saver completely. Sorry if this doesn't help much, but like I said I'm a little rusty on my Win 98 config
