    Hello everyone,
    I just finished building a machine for a director in my firm, and afew minutes before he came to pick it up a small Post-it like window appeared on my virtual Windows XP installation... :confused:
    It is smack in the middle of the desktop, it has a 'x' on the top right corner, but when you click it it does not close. It also has an 'i' in the top left corner. In the bottom it has a timer set to 00:00:00 (or is it something else?) Also, it stays on top of any other windows.

    Has anyone seen it? Is there a way to get rid of it?

    I had to give the machine to the user/tester, but he sure wasn't too happy about it.

    Any input would be highly appreciated.

    Here's the stats:
    MBP, 2GB, 2.33GHz
    Parallels 3188
    VM: Windows XP with 1024 MB memory and our corp. image

    Thank you much in advance! :)

    Found the culprit...

    Found it

    It turns out that the culprit for this small blank Window is the Altiris Agent running on the virtual machine. As I mentioned, this is our corporate image and we are using Altiris to manage our PCs.

    Now, I still don't know why/how it comes up... :eek:

    Has anyone alse had experience with managed VMs (with Altiris in particular?)
