Track running programs

I am having an issue with splash screens and I don't know which program, they just show for less than a second and they are gone, I have tested for malware and viruses and found none. Is there a way to store history of programs that run?

Thanks Callender. I think I may be in the wrong neighborhood, there is just too much data being compiled to search through the hundreds of events to single out just one. I am not having any system issues, it just something that bugs me, but after seeing all the events, I am going to have to do some soul searching before I dig any deeper.

When does it happen if its on start then look at startup if its a specific time check task schedule it should be one of those

When you see the problem note the time and check the log for processes logged at around that time. It might provide a clue.

I did a test with Excel and it started over a hundred different processes just to launch.Going to thing it over.

It is random with no specific time or event.

A screen capture may help to track it down as soon as it happens hit prnt screen then paste into a graphic programe

I wished I could, but it isn't possible, I barely see the splash and it is gone - it looks almost like it is transparent it moves so fast.

Are you sure its not a cmd prompt very often MS run 2 cmds on one drive that flash up for a second you could goto cmd prompt then change background colour then you could see it by default cmd prompt is see through
