Hello logokiller smile.gif

Which screens do you mean as I cannot see any on mine.

Do you mean when you are on the internet, on your desktop, or where?

A screenshot may be easier.

Do you mean in Internet Explorer?
If so, update to IE7 and its no longer there.

If it's this:


Then you can use Microsoft Tweak UI to change it, here's how:
1. Make a System Restore point for easily undoing the changes if you don't like them!
2. Download and install Tweak UI, it's freeware.
3. In Tweak UI go into:
* Internet Explorer->Small Animation
* Internet Explorer->Large Animation
4. Chose custom bitmap of your own.
5. Click Apply. You may need to log off your PC then log on for the changes to take effect.

Note: This allows you to change the image in Windows ("Explorer") as well, it isn't just for IE.

Edit: That logo you refer to is called a throbber in web browsers which is sort of like a dinosaur in this day and age.

Thank you all!

Since I know of the medical term 'Throbber' I found out this website....
It even has registry settings, just double click on registry file.
