Activity of constant background in the mouse pointer a few seconds of spinning
Two weeks ago I noticed that there are almost constant background activity (the small cursor and wheel rotation) every few seconds... We discover something called vosteran and followed the instructions to get rid of it. It seems to work fine for awhile and then the day we started to notice it ruin once again. We have removed all that seems to have been installed during this period, but it is still ongoing. Explorer Windows seems to also keep restarting.
Anyone has any suggestions to solve this problem and keep it fixed? We went into the Task Manager to see what is running, but it shows nothing running.
Thanks much for any help.

Hello
Thanks for posting the query on the Microsoft Community Forums. You have reached the right place. Let us work together to find the cause of this problem and try to solve.
The question seems to be a virus on the computer. I suggest you run online virus scan using the scanner.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: 1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.
If the problem persists, check boot to see if any third-party program is causing the problem.

We are an OEM that systems of electronic Assembly is based, in our machine is a PC running Windows XP Professional that provides the interface for the operator. Some of our systems have begun to crash intermittently when stopping. Up to now we have seen it on three machines. There has been no change to hardware or drivers that we put on these machines.
The PC is supposed to stop at the point were he said "It is now turn off your computer", but it hangs when the only thing on the screen is the default windows background and the mouse pointer. The mouse moves, but that's all. He is unresponsive to ctrl-alt-delete, or any other entry.
This was reported 5 times, and in any case there's nothing in any log file which would tend to indicate where the problem is maybe.
I guess we have a bad driver or device, but the problem only happens once all stops of 5-10, and only after the machine is turned on for a while.
I just turned on the detailed status messages, but they did not stop the machine since.
What I asked is: is it possible to get windows to connect to all events stop? I really want to know what he was doing when he stopped. Can someone else think something I can look at, or a better way to debug this?
Re: a suggestion on this new monitor to 'prove' is the source of the problem
Disconnect it, connect a type non-ecran touch "ordinary".
stop/restart in safe MODE, make sure that the old monitor is not appear in the Device Manager [what we used to call a ghost]
If it IS, delete it & uninstall the sw provided with touch screen
Reboot in normal mode

keyboard shortcuts do not change the mouse pointer, unless you move
Hi guys...
I've just updated my after effects (V13.1.0.111), and now every time I have put the cursor on the main window of the video and hit a hotkey to put in place a new tool, the mouse pointer does not change. It changes only once you move the mouse.
It's especially frustrating when you use the camera tools. So when cycling through tools "move", "rotation" and "orientation" by pressing C, you can't see which tool is active, unless you continually move the mouse.
Anyone else having this problem?
See you soon
Yes, it is a bug.

Tecra S1: Move the mouse pointer
From time to time my mouse pointer moves slowly upward or sideways. This happens once anchored and when not docked. In the latter case, I have an external mouse not attached.
This problem is really annoying, especially when you try to hit a box for example.
Any ideas?
See you soon
seasack
Hi seasack
If you use the pointer internal (the stick between GH and B), it is very common that the ca of pointer starts to move.
The reason is a bit technical but very understandable.
The mouse pointer works like a small joystick. Means that it is that you push forward, down, sideways and so on. However, please check the HOUSE or 0-position from time to time. When you're not, this would be a normal position of the HOUSE for us but it doesn't.
It is therefore possible that it may be wrong to believe that the position of the HOUSE is when you push forward.
If you stand and do not change the position of the needle for (I think) 2 separate controls the position of the HOUSE, this position will then be the new post HOME until the next time he finds another.
Actual cases is not that extreme, of course, but more normal cases are that you bend your finger on the pointer when for example reading something on the screen. The pointer can recognize as a small boost, and if you do go, then he could have a new position of the HOUSE and start to drift or it could be "heavy" feeling in a certain direction.
The solution? Simple! Leave it on for about 5 seconds and it will go away.If you have this problem, even if your not even using the pointer, then I guess you have a hardware problem.
Try disabling the internal mouse by pressing FN + F9.Good luck

Escape the mouse pointer when you press the space bar
My tecra has developed a problem where whenever I press the space bar, the mouse pointer out of the screen and the mobile guard in the upper right or sometimes down left for about 30 seconds then stops. happens in all weather conditions of applications that I use an optical mouse or the touchpad
Hi Dave
I had the same problem. Initially, the mouse was mad for 30 seconds, but shortly after, it was worse. I switched the keyboard and now everything is ok.
Of course, the pointer of the mouse was defective. I'm sure that in your case the problem is the same.
Good luck!

Whenever I go to a program like WoW or Media Center, my mouse becomes invisible. I can always click on things and move it, I can't see the pointer! I saw a question asking pretty much the same thing, but it did not help me at all the... I also noticed that I can not only see the pointer when I fullscreen, however I can't get full screen sometimes.
Hi Roxas72,
Turn off the mouse pointer trails and check if you are able to access the mouse pointer in Windows media center.
(a) open mouse by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking hardware, and then clicking the mouse
(b) on the Pointer Options tab, uncheck 'Display pointer trails.
(c) click on OK to save the settings.
See the links below for the Wow game and try the steps.

The mouse pointer at work turns blue after the connection of the House
Greetings, every weekend our computers at work are automatically restarted. I just Monday and my mouse pointer is blue sky! Well, easy to put back, but why is this happening? To reproduce the problem: Reboot Windows box at work. Do not connect! The remote access connection from the Mac must be the first login after the reboot. Go home. Home: 20 "iMac running OS X 10.6.8 run Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client v2.5.3055 on iMac, connect to the VPN. Run MS RDC for Mac on the Mac. Connect to the Windows computer at work, which is running XP SP3 Professional v5.1 home. Do normal stuff. Sign out of DRC. Disconnect the VPN. Go to work. Open a session. The mouse pointer is blue instead of Standard Windows! If I use Windows inverted, the mouse pointer is changed to be transparent with black outline. ***? I tried looking on the Net occasionally and either get to sites that tell me how to get a blue arrow or how to use a. No, this isn't a big problem, but I'm very curious to know why this happens. Thank you! AEF

If I let the the mouse pointer over the taskbar, it freezes and I can't move.
original title: freezing of funds...
If I left click on the desktop and then click on the task bar when I got on my pc and leave the pointer from there in the taskbar until the next time I use my computer, it works well. If I let the pointer anywhere on the desktop when I finished work and the mouse pointer will freeze right where he is and I have to restart maually in order to release it. I never met this case in the 20 more years that I have been using a pc.
I downloaded and ran spybot search and destroy program majorgeeks.com and it fixed my problem of gel. I don't know what he did to take care of it, but it does the trick.

Anyone know how to get the mouse pointer visible on the extended screen?
Well, I finally managed to work on a way to project my w4 iconia on my TV. So grateful to a number of people in the community for me that far, but every step seems to bring his own fresh problem to enter. so a few questions:
1. anyone who manages to get the iconia w4 to duplicate rather than extend?
2 - does anyone know how I can control the expanded view - I have a mouse plugged into my iconia so that I can flip through the window I want to show it on the extended screen but the mouse pointer does not appear as visible on the display (TV) extended although it does not work but the shooting blind is very frustrating - okay, if I watch a movie as soon as it runs on the extended screen it does not much you must handle but assuming I want to just browse the internet and project that onto the extended screen, so it's a big problem.
My apologies if these are stupid questions, I'm not very technically savvy.
TYIA
This seems odd. I always change an extra-large pointer and traces of mouse long but have never had a problem with the HDMI screens like that.
What is the brand and model of your TV please? Maybe someone can duplicate.

The mouse pointer turns into a pointer to 'move' for no reason
I have been using a new laptop for a few months now. All of a sudden the mouse began to change at random from the standard windows arrow pointer, a pointer to 'move' - this is a pointer with 4 arrows pointing outward.
The change seems to occur in any specific situation. Sometimes the pointer turns back on its own, but usually I have to go into the control panel and accept the default settings of the mouse again to retrieve the pointer of the mouse to normal. The change to the pointer 'move' is not in the Control Panel mouse - settings settings don't never change.
I tried the following things:
-change my settings of the mouse pointer to the user the dinosaur mouse pointer scheme, but the same problem occurs
-Uninstall mouse drivers and let the PC to reinstall the driver automatically at startupI use a USB mouse. When I use the laptop without the USB mouse, the problem actually gets worse. In this case, the mouse pointer changes, and the mouse pointer freezes. My main concern is the modification of the pointer, not the gel.
Anyone seen this before? In addition, no one knows how to fix this problem?
Thank you.
I ended up having my motherboard replaced on my laptop keyboard and Mouse touchpad. Then only the problem was solved.

Screen goes black and only the mouse pointer visible to the windows xp screen
My computer has used to work without problems. Now, when I start it upward, to the Windows XP start screen, the screen turns off and all that is visible is the mouse pointer. I tried to start safe mode, and it does give me even the option - not even if I press F8 at startup upward. What is the problem with my computer and what can do?
Thanks for your answers, Dena and Jojih.
The screen went black and all I could see was the mouse pointer. There is no ameioration or changes on the hardware of all kinds. I wonder if one of my employees has a virus on the computer. I could not do in safe mode, even if I tried to press F8. If I put in the Windows XP CD, the screen would go black after that he loaded the system files, just like at the start of Windows XP. So I used Acronis PC Backup and Recovery and make a recovery disc and used to reformat the hard drive and then I reinstalled Windows XP. Everything has been great to work for.

Is there a way to disable the information boxes that appear whenever the mouse pointer is over a clickable element? For example: in internet explorer, my favorites... when I move the pointer of the mouse on a favorite, a small box will open with the information on the web page in it or as on the top of these pages where it says vista Assistant... If I point to him a box opens with 'Wizard of Vista' inside. Thank you
Hi MDonaghy,
Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.
To disable or enable Popups of ToolTip for items in Windows Vista, follow the steps below:
1. in the start search box, type regedit
2. scroll through HKEY_CURRENT_USER > software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > advanced
3. you will see a list of entries. Locate ShowInfoTip FolderContentsInfoTip, StartButtonBalloonTip. Click on edit and set the dword value to 00000000 for each entry (to undo the same set value of 00000001)
4. scroll HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > advanced
5. Repeat step 3
6. exit and reboot.
Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

Open submenus when I stop on them with the mouse pointer does not work
I used to use Vista Upgrade of XP until it hit the big time. With this installation, the option 'Open submenus when I dwell on them with the mouse pointer' worked perfectly well. Since I did a format and installed the full installation of Vista version, and now this feature does not work. I checked and re-checked the option in the customization of the menu star and nothing. Also unable to find what anyone at the mouse settings itself.
Does anyone know how to get this feature to work again once it's something I use a lot.
