is the drum supposed to beat all the time?
many icons like that animate when an action is occuring, the drum may beat
when the machine is busy, like the hourglass on a regular cursor.

I have as my cursor 3D Bronze pointer.

I went inside Control Panel/Mouse, chose Pointer Tab, Work in background
and changed the icon to icon of drum beating. In the preview window, I can
see the drum beating. When I press OK and exit. When I open some
application, the drum icon would appear but without animation as though it
is frozen. Does anyone know what might be the problem on why there is no
animation?
