Blinking flickering cursor on most start up

    Most of the times when I boot up (though not always) my HP Pavilion dv2500t
    laptop with Windows Vista Business edition, my cursor seems to be blinking or
    flickering. I see the green circle (used to be hour glass in earlier
    versions?) at every flicker.

    Any idea how to troubleshoot/fix the problem? Is there something trying to
    load itself in the background and cannot?

    Start - MSCONFIG - Right Click on msconfig.exe

    Boot Tab - Advanced Oprtions - Number of Processors
    set at the MAX it shows. OK and APPLY your way out.

    Reboot.

    Of course there still could be a hog loading at startup.

    After Boot look in Task Manager to see what loaded.
