i restarted my computer and there is a blank title bar on my desktop and if i click on it it makes that ding sound....here is a pic and if u see somthing in task manager processes to get it the end please tell me thanks.

do you know wot the WkCalRem.exe is?

no but ill end the process and see what happens. Nope, didnt do a thing.

hmmm, could you scroll down in your task manager and post a screeny so i could see the other processes

ok here

hmm i searched google for objectdock.exe and i didnt see anything there that looked good. Terminate that process and see if you have any luck?

object dock isnt it ...you see at the top of my desktop in the middle...thats object dock

ahhh ok.
well from looking at the processes, there isnt anythig which looks like adware/spyware but i can easily miss something
on the window can you resize it or does it beep when you try and interact with it?

just beeps its getting annoying

Isn't it somekind of crashed Konfabulator thing?

ok, i know this is a stab in the dark, terminate rundll32.exe in the task manager
btw, you have a lot of Konfabulator.ex's lol

well i have a konaspose screen it come with which has 2 widgets here is a screen shot:

hhhmmmm, did you terminate rundll32?

no lemme try, no didnt help.

bah, i dont know. because theres no process for it its not part of an application
soz mate cant help ya

maybe i should restart the computer and see if that helps...

yeh it might, seeing as this is the first time you have encountered this?
also have u installed something recently that might cause it?
if you run out of ideas you can try a system restore

if it doesn't, close konfabulator (could help )

press ctrl + alt + delete, click on the applications tab, and then right click on the phantom window, and choose go to process, then the process it selects is the culprit

Dear Google,

Thank you for your reply.  I have attatched a picture of what my
problem looks like.  I encounter these difficulties when i open gmail
notifier, I am not recieving error messages, it happens all the time
and it is the first time this has happened to me ever.  I have
Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106, I also use FireFox Version
1.0.6  .  I use Microsoft AntiSpyware and Ad-Aware SE personal, and
Xoftspy.  I do not have any toobars installed on my computer.  Thanks
for this oppertunity, and i hope the information i have given you can
help solve this problem.

~Michael~

At least it sounds like Gmail cares.  Sometimes I send in reports to certain companies and the never reply

Uhh, thats obviously automatic...

here is another email they sent me:

Hello,

Thank you for your response. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue
may have caused. Gmail often doesn't function properly while some
third-party security and/or anti-virus applications are enabled. Our
engineers are working diligently to find a solution to this problem.

In the meantime, we suggest disabling Microsoft Anti Spyware, AdAware, and
Xoftspy for testing purposes, clearing your browser's cache, and
attempting to log in to Gmail again.

If disabling this software resolves the problem, but you'd still like to
use it in conjunction with Gmail, you may want to contact Microsoft,
AdAaware, and/or Xoftspy support teams for help customizing your settings
so you can still access your Gmail account after reenabling the software.

If you continue to experience difficulties after following the above
steps, please respond to this message and we'll investigate the issue
further.

Sincerely,

The Gmail Team
