I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now...and am still
completely baffled. There's a white box in the upper left hand corner of my
screen, and it covers the items underneath it. Along with the box, there's a
taskbar item that has what looks to be a blank screen icon on it; no text. It
won't let me click on it, or even right click it to close.

I can't figure this out...and it's become quite an annoyance. Can anyone
help!?!?
