Can Not See Mouse Pointer on Screen
When I am using either my touchpad or a wireless mouse I can not see my
cursor pointer on screen most of the time. It is visible in some instances, but never visible when placed over text in an email, Word, etc. Any ideas? Thanks for your help |

Thanks for your help Generally, the system hides the cursor when it is over any text and you begin typing. You can turn this feature off by following this procedu - Open Control Panel - Under "Hardware and Sound", click "Mouse" (Or Double-click the Mouse icon if you're in Classic View) - Click the "Pointer Options" tab - Under "Visibility", remove the check from the "Hide pointer while typing" box. - Click OKThe mouse pointer should remain visible at all times, even while typing. -- dzomlija ____________________________________ Peter Alexander Dzomlija Do you hear, huh?

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately that check box
wasn't checked and therefore didn't solve the problem. I lose the mouse pointer totally when I move over text, and therefore I can't highlight anything, etc. "dzomlija" wrote: squeeze_me_1;546533 Wrote: When I am using either my touchpad or a wireless mouse I can not see my cursor pointer on screen most of the time.

I had the same problem. I found if I went to the Mouse Properties -
Pointers page, then scrolled down in Customize to the Text Select Pointer then click Browse, it takes you to the Windows\Cursors folder and I selected the beam_r.cur file. Now it works much better. |

I have the same problem. Did you ever figure out how to solve the problem? squeeze_me_1;546533 Wrote: When I am using either my touchpad or a wireless mouse I can not see my cursor pointer on screen most of the time.

There are mouse options that allow you to hide the pointer while in a text
program. This is usually ON by default. The pointer appears when you move the mouse. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "mikeEboston" wrote in message ...
