• 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 startup

  I 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.

• Windows XP crashes intermittently when stopping. Stuck on the screen with the default windows background color and the mouse pointer.

  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
  Try a stop
  If you get the old orange it'S now SAFE, tell the seller about IT.

• Windows Vista - blank screen with only the mouse pointer at the start - tried everything

  My laptop (Dell Latitude E6500) stopped recently begin correctly recently - one morning, he froze connection so I powered it off and then on again. When he started to I only got a backlit black screen with a mouse pointer - nothing works, clicking or Ctrl Alt Delete.

  So far I have tried the following:
  • Dell Diagnostics tool - no problems found
  • Safe mode - the same thing happens in all modes of security
  • Restore the system using CD of Vista - no restore point
  • Repair the system using the Vista CD - no error
  • Essentially, nothing to do with the Vista CD solved the problem, so I tried the forums

  • I tried to rename the "Logs_bad" event logs and by creating a new "Log" folder in windows\system32\winevt\ - does not set it
  • "I renamed' software ' to 'software_bad' in windows\system32\config\ and 'software_previous' in 'software', as suggested Mr. Bakir in http://www.nuonsoft.com/blog/2009/05/02/possible-ksod-black-screen-of-death-solution-for-windows-vista/, but it did not work.
  • I also tried a few things with Regedit but not had any luck with doing work again.
  • I tried the trick of "StickyKeys" discussed on many forums, but this does not work - I had turned it off or the computer is not grateful for entry; I do not know
  • I copied explorer.exe working copies, taskmgr.exe and winlogon.exe from a broken computer work computer, it did not resolve anything.
  Are there solutions more I can try? There must be something I can replace/remove/change in order to get Starter beyond this point where is seems to 'block '.
  Install a fresh windows isn't really a preferred option.
  Any help would be much appreciated

• Windows Vista starts with only a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  Saturday, 02/27/10, I left my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1405 E) because I used Studio to produce a couple of videos.  When I got up in the morning, he himself had closed.  I tried to put on normally, and he said: recovery error windows, then on lists: Launch Startup Repair tool and start windows normally.  I tried to do a repair, but it just comes back to the same screen.  When I try to boot normally, it shows the progress on the background as usual bar, but then he comes up to a black screen with a mouse pointer.  When I run one of the many diagnostic tests, it is said that the BIOS cannot find the operating system loader.  I'm pretty adept at computers, but nothing I've tried before reinstalling Vista works.  I have files that I need to keep it on the computer, and only a few of them are saved.  Please help me soon, as I need for my school musical production on Thursday.

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

• The mouse pointer does not hide when you type, even with the box checked.

  Hello everyone.  I turned on the check mark in the properties of the mouse "hide the pointer during the strike".  However, the mouse pointer does not hide when typing, but instead remains visible all the time.

  No one knows why this happens?  In previous versions of Windows, the pointer should simply disappear when keystrokes are typed, and then reappear when the mouse is moved.  Is not the case here!

  Thanks for any information!

  System details:

  Windows Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1, 4 GB ram
  Intel Core2 3.16 GHz cpu
  NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT with two monitors
  Aero is enabled.

  Hello

  Welcome to the community of Windows Vista.

  1. what application you are working on when you encountered this problem?

  Hide the mouse pointer option allows you only to remove the mouse curzor of
  the focus in the working window so that the cursor does not cover the text or the pitcure you see.

  Make sure that the curzor of the mouse is placed inside the app as you type, as it does not hide the mouse, if it is outside of the application.

  Change the settings of the mouse

• 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.

• 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.

  If a mouse (or if you use a touch screen and a mouse)

  Single click to open an item - APPLY / OK

  Control Panel - mouse - look for hover or click Automatic similar settings according to your mouse.

  When a TouchPad

  Look in the Notification area next to the clock for all TouchPad control program.

  Control Panel - mouse - also look for it TouchPad (mine is on the device however settings tab
  other brands and maybe on the other tabs and more than one). There are usually the parameters that
  can determine if a click, double click, hover or can open or close a program.

  Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the

• Second the mouse pointer to the center of the screen of Windows 8 (office and metro) - Sony VaioT Ultrabook

  After a few updates MSFT uncontrolled or without reason, the boot of Win8 poster now the gray circle or circle with the mouse pointer in the Center on the login screen of the touch screen. Try moving the pointer with touchpad shows second pointer, and the original remains flashing in the Center. By connecting to the Metro interface, the cursor of the Center remains in the Center, and it is possible to move subway tiles by dragging the screen.

  When you go to the office, the pointer to the Center rest sometimes, sometimes disappears; When there, open and close the Task Manager without doing anything he removes the unwanted pointer. When removing the additional pointer in the Center, office does not respond to tap and double tap. and does not show the rectangle of the area of selection, as he usually did. However, the touch screen digitizer apparently works as the key, and touch multi-touch show shadows in the points of contact. It also allows to scroll the text in the browsers to slide the touch screen. But the zoom and the valves do not work.
  I also noticed that a few seconds after that the Office will appear on the screen, the touchscreen works as he used before (look and work area selection), but they stop working after 3-4 seconds and you can only take account of the points of contact and scroll the text in browsers (no resizing)...
  Device Manager displays the digitizer as 'USB input device' USB\VID_04F3 & PID_0018; It is impossible to find the name of the vendor or update the driver. The device also creates objects of device HID four children. The digitizer can be stopped and restarted from the Device Manager; upon restart, the Center pointer appears again, or a white square is displayed. Touch the place goes the arrow-shaped pointer in the gray circle of key indicator in the center of the screen. Open and close the Task Manager remove the pointer from the Center.
  Sometimes, when you move a pointer 'true' with the touchpad as the arrow in the Center pointer is replaced by a helping hand or cheek two arrows.
  It seems that there is an application or a service that loads with office and seizes 'touch down' messages, do not let them be served by gui. However, I don't find anything unusual in starting programs or services; Virus scan shows that the machine is clean.
  I thought it might be a ClassicShell likely to interfere, but removing it does not change the behavior. Neither the removal of all the utilities of the startup list startup.
  It is a software problem, suggestions, which could bring him or how to find the root cause of the problem are appreciated.
  I saw a similar description of the behavior on the forums of Sony, but there was no resolution.

  FIXED! My laptop had this problem from day one.  I found a thread where some people had fixed it by going into the properties of the mouse and two enabling paths (shortest path setting was OK and barely perceptible) or by changing the standard display cursor to enlarged (or black).  But this does NOT work for me.  Here's what worked completely:

  I turned off the touch screen.  Who needs him--it was a stupid idea of Windows 8, in any case, and the compromise to solve this question "cursor ghost" was worth WAY.

  Go to Device Manager.  Under Interface devices, there are 2 lines for input USB device.  (If there is more, temporarily disconnect the receiver wireless mouse or another USB input device).  Disable the first, one in right-clicked on it and selecting Disable.  And the problem is GONE!  I hope this helps.

  Maybe the screen had a defect that makes act like an invisible finger relying on, or more likely, it's a Windows 8 bug affecting some machines.  In any case, it's a huge relief to see it fixed, because the cell phone was horrible, when this happened.  Good luck!

• Stop the mouse pointer to show more of Windows Media Center

  Original title: Windows Media Center

  Hello

  Is there a way to stop the mouse pointer to show more of Windows Media Center, other than moving it?

  I note that adobe flash player can do it in a web page, then why not an 'entire' application such as Windows Media Center?

  Thank you

  Hi hiphoppoprock,

  In Windows Mode, the pointer in Windows Media center is designed to be displayed.

  In order to have the pointer automatically disappear you need to change the Mode full screen.

• The mouse pointer is not displayed in Windows 8.

  original title: 8 the mouse pointer disappears NOT associated with the applications screen

  Windows 8 64-bit running on TORDRE of Lenovo tablet 3347CTO with external monitors.

  Sometimes, the mouse pointer disappears from the office.  He is always there, because I can find it by pressing CTRL (I have "use CTRL to locate mice" clicked to fix somewhere).  It will activate a program if the invisible pointer is on the icon for this program.  It reappears when you move, but only when moving.  I'm going behind the screen applications (starting) to do this. As I know it has nothing to do with any specific program.  Only way to recover is to restart the computer.  It's extremely annoying, any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  I fell right on the problem.

  Use the Windows key + P to pass between the double screen and return to the single screen mode and returns the pointer.

  Play with the mouse settings did not help.  I think it's a problem of display driver.

  Hope this helps others.

• Change the mouse pointer to the location of the bearing

  I'm working on Excel/simulations for training, and at some point I want to ask the students to resize a column by clicking twice between the column headings.  When they do this in Excel, the cursor turns into a 'sign with the arrows on the sides' to signify that they are on the exact point.  I can insert a rollover image to this place that shows the correct cursor type, but it is display the image at that location, while the mouse pointer remains hand.

  Is it possible in Captivate 9 to force the mouse pointer to change the specific locations of flipping?

• 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.

• The mouse pointer & open windows disappear off the screen to the right

  The mouse pointer moves beyond the screen to the right and is not visible, as if the office is extended beyond the edge of the screen. Open programs or programs visible on the taskbar sometimes will, when clicked on disappear too out there and then I can't get them on the screen where I can see. If I'm lucky I can get the pointer in the right spot and can drag the back window where I can see it.

  I have a 22 "h - d lcd wide screen monitor. Are there settings that I need to adjust or what?

  Thank you

  You have a second monitor or a television plugged into the video card? You will need to go into your control panel of the video driver and adjust it for a single screen.
   
  You can also try the automatic adjustment of your monitors.

• WIN8 - no desktop, black screen with the mouse pointer. Manager tasks and the login screen work.

  As usual I left my computer and after a few minutes, he fell asleep. Next morning, I had moved to the mouse, computer wakes, but I got a black screen with the mouse pointer. I hit CTRL + Alt + Delete and screen with Task Manager option appeared. I stop computer and rebooted. Welcome screen and logon is displayed. After you enter the password and click on submit that the screen becomes black with only the pointer visible mouse. I don't have not installed anything recently. Can you help me find my office?

  OK, I had the same problem. I thought that if you have a pointer and can launch Manager tasks and all programs through its file > new task, then the hull works correctly. No office and no taskbar mean that something is wrong with explorer.exe. Now, he has corrupted not necessarily, may not properly launched.

  Here's what I did:

  1. I opened the Task Manager, the Details tab

  2. I killed all explorer.exe on the list

  3. just to be safe, I also tried to kill dwm.exe but it will be may not be necessary (it never goes away)

  4. I started the new instance of explorer.exe via file > run

  And voila, I had the desktop and the taskbar.

  It will be useful.
