This will probably sound really weird, but here goes: is there something in the Artisteer (2) program that would make continuous diskette drive accesses? Or could it be something in that .NET thingie?

I'm using Artisteer (2) to make Joomla templates, which is why I'm posting in this particular forum. Last night, my auto-updates prompted me to download and install an update for the .NET doohickey, 3.5.0 or something like that, and ever since I did that, any little thing I do in Artisteer causes an access of my floppy drive -- there's nothing in it, of course, or it would be even more annoying, but that constant drive-access clicking is truly driving me nuts; I may have to turn on some loud music just to get any work done! argh!

Anyway, I don't know if this is pertinent here or not, but it's the only program in which I'm seeing this behavior, and only since last night's update.

Or could it somehow be part of that conficker nightmare, looking for instructions? arghh again. I run real-time shielding and I *can* access microsoft.com so I don't think it's that, but with all this weirdness going on online, who knows!

Any thoughts, anyone?

Thx!
