Could be your swap file or a memory resident application. if you do
ctrl+alt+delete it will bring up a little window that will show you what is
currently active on your machine. You can close each item one at a time
from that dialog box and find out what does or doesn't work as you go.
by using msconfig: start menu--->run--->type in msconfig --->okay you can
control what does or doesn't load at startup.
