sounds interesting although I have no idea what you mean - what is an
interrupt and how do I find out if anyone's sharing mine!!
Seriously - can you spell it out for me? if it's not too much

couldn't turn off by right clicking in the task bar (and didn't
bother to turn off through the msconfig menu) was a Nokia connection
manager - which allows you to select how you connect your laptop with
your phone (presumably mobile)..
