have you checked the task manager (sorted by CPU) to see what coincides with the hourglass?

this does sort of assume you have nt/win2k or xp, but in task manager look at all the processes. click on the cpu column and you should see something like...


try to see what processes are at/near the top when your mouse goes hourglassy.
