Vista Home Premium 32   /   NIS2009

I have looked through the common problems and found no answer.  I don't know what to call my problem so searching for it here is an unproductive effort.

Recently my pc seems to be 'thinking' almost constantly.  That is, the hour-glass equivalent seems to always be active as if its trying to open an app or complete a task.  How do I resolve this? 

I suspect NIS because of the following . . .

For some reason NIS disappeared from my PC.  A Norton tech had me uninstall/reinstall NIS and now it works as it should.  Except for the eternal thinking.  It started shortly after reinstalling NIS and I can't find how to resolve this.
