This is driving me crazy.
Some process, somewhere, every minute is flashing up this icon in the status bar, momentarily grabbing CPU time and focus, and interrupting my workflow.
I don’t know what it is. It’s too quick to right-click on to close or query it.
It’s even disruptive enough that I can’t capture it using PrintScreen; I had to grab it using a camera.
It’s similar in appearance to the MediaGate NDAS software, but that’s not it.
I think it only started happening a week or two ago, but you know how it is — I don’t recall what I’ve installed in that time. I know I upgraded iTunes, but I’ve already killed every Apple-related task I could find, and it’s still doing it.
Can anybody identify it?
WAIT A SEC. I did a search of all EXEs then scanned down looking at icons. It looks like it’s something to do with DivX. Hmmm.
yeah, it does look like a DivX thing.
but I’m on a Mac here… so don’t have a taskbar anymore 😛
in explorer, generating the preview icons in a folder of divx movies will cause that to show up and go away very quickly.
Hi Daniel
It’s the DivX Player/codec. Something has downloaded the DivX codec and this displays when you are playing an AVI or similar file….
Hmmmm. I’m going to look the next time I spot it, but I don’t think it’s just when I’m playing an AVI/DivX file.
Someone pointed me to this forum discussion: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/193399.aspx — I’ll try the recommended registry hack.
