Some of the literature would attribute this to fingerprint software. Do you have fingerprint recognition software on your computer.

@WARLOCK: I don't think he has two accounts, only two icons. Deleting an account might delete his main account.

@Xhi, He didn't give a lot of info and hasn't been on for a month till today so you might be correct.

Edit: I am am sure you noticed but same poster as the thread you just answered. Why did you shout my screen name? LOL

abhinickz6,
If your thinking about deleting one of the accounts I suggest you make a backup image before proceeding.
Once you have an image and if things don't work out you can always restore your image.
Here is a good free imaging utility
