There is an annoying flashing circle on the screen. I don't know what it is, why it started, and how to get rid of it. It now comes up every time I open my project file. I want rid of it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]11698[/ATTACH]
The circle is the 'wait cursor' that lets you know that ArcPad is busy.
If you 'fixed' your problem by turning off the GPS Tracklog - then I would suggest that your Tracklog was quite large and was taking a long time to draw (making ArcPad busy).
If you wish to archive your tracklog to improve performance - see this script on the Code Gallery: How to archive GPS Tracklog
