Mystery Box in Expose (or what I think is expose)

expose

For some reason I have a mystery box when I go to expose (or w/e f3 is). It'll show my other open apps, but once space will be transparent until I mouseover it.

It isn't horrible, but annoying so any help would be great.

Thanks

If it's not the web browser, and you're sure you've quitted it (I'm sure you know on a Mac closing the window doesn't usually quit the application), then try this when you see another floating window:

  1. Search Spotlight for Activity Monitor
  2. Change the drop down menu to Active Processes or if not available choose My Processes
  3. Sort by Real Memory Usage
  4. File>Print the list and post it somewhere where we can see it

That will tell you every application and active daemon that is running actively so that we can check if anything is out of the ordinary.
