My specs if it matters:

320gm HDD
8800 GTS 512mb video card
Hope someone can help! |
This could be due to 'Superfetch'. This utility moniters vista (even when your doing nothing), anyway for the first few times you boot up after a fresh install, this utility moniters what you use program wise and also what loads up at the start-up. Eventually it creates a 'profile' of these start-up programs and utilitys you use. It then loads this 'profile' into your memory(when you boot up), which, hopefully speeds up program load times.After a while you should no longer see the hourglass popping up.
You could disable Superfetch via services just to make sure it is actually that utility that is causing the hourglass but I'm pretty sure thats what it'll be.
