you may be right Geek, but I'm not convinced even that is what John is referring to...

@john, perhaps a screenshot will be more explanatory.
I take it the PC still boots to Windows and you can use it fine?
Have you installed new software recently, or changed some system setting?
and feel free to elaborate as much as possible. ;)

if it is MWSnap3 and you don't require its screen capturing capabilities then go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and remove it.
