    Hey guys. Can anyone tell me what's this icon flashing on my task bar? I'm running Vista Home Premium. Thanks.

    Has to do with DivX. Why don't you right-click it to see what options you have?

    Hey wolf04. The icon is just flashing. Tried right clicking but nothing happens. It's gone as of the moment. But it keeps on coming back.

    It could be DivX updating, or it could be there if you have a DivX movie streaming, or it could be DivX trying to achieve sentience.

    Check the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialogue box. It will give you the option to Customize your taskbar. When you click that option, it should list the many programs that have appeared on your taskbar. I think you should be able to read the name of the program and see a picture of the icon there.

    Hope this helps...
