I use an Gigabyte Q2006 notebook with windows 7 installed. When I start Windows by turning on the computer, as the "welcome" window passes a search box starts up and keeps blinking like its being commanded to open every second due to a keyboard damage. I checked the netbook keyboard but it seems fine. I can't even shut the search box or minimize it, it just reappears!
Search box automatically starts at Windows 7 start-up

First, start the comp in Safe Mode. If you've never done this before, just continuously tap the F8 key while the comp is booting. When the start-up options appear, select the option without any extras like networking.
After booting into Safe Mode is completed, go to Start>Run>msconfig>Enter. Click on the "Start-up" tab and see what programs are being called for by Windows Registry when the comp boots.
Look closely at each entry. If you don't recognize a program use Google to get more info. I don't know which app. would load a search box, but check each entry until you find it and then uncheck it. Select "OK" and reboot the comp in normal start-up. See if your problem is solved?
