I think I found the solution to my problem. I went to All Programs then to Administrative Tools then to Task Scheduler and found that my Flash Player somehow got set to update every few minutes (how did that happen!?), and edited it (by going into the Trigger Tab, and reset to update once a week. Hope that 'fixes' the problem.... Time will tell...fingers crossed! Anyone....ideas about this?
