• CS4: cursor turned into three different "figures" online. How to fix? [was: janeriklindqvist]

  The cursor in my CS4 has turned into three different "figures" online. This makes it almost impossible to use program, and I can't end a way to return to normal "cross".

  Has to do with the resolution of the screen. Your Windows DPI size text is set to 150%.  Value 149 or 151 and that will solve problelm.

• PS The quick selection of CC cursor turns into arrow

  Hi, upgrade PS CS6 to 2015 CC, I have a fairly serious problem.

  When I use the quick selection tool to add or subtract, the circle with cross-shaped cursor becomes the standard arrow cursor, make difficult selections.

  In this case, if I use my Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet (with latest drivers) or a mouse.

  I'm running Windows 10 and have stable, current NVidia GPU drivers.

  I tried to reset the preferences, tools, etc.  Past yet.

  Thank you!

  This seems to be a real bug.  Everything works fine with my quick selection cursor, unless I have spend the primary mouse button (if I can use the left-handed mouse).

  This certainly seems to be a Windows 10 + CC PS bug.  If the primary mouse button are switched to left-handed use, the quick selection cursor becomes irregular, usually showing as an arrow instead of a circle with cross during the addition or subtraction of selections.  Very annoying.

  I'm NOT left-handed, but I use the mouse right-handed or left-handed because I use my Wacom tablet.

  This question is NOT related to the Wacom tablet, as the problem is that Wacom drivers are installed or not, or if the Tablet is connected or not.

  Please check this matter to see that it is not specific to my system.

  Thanks, Adobe!

  original title: the behavior of the cursor

  Sometimes, and often, my cursor turns into a huge sign and does not act as a cursor at all; Let me not select, click or anything like that.  Acts as a tool "edit page."  I can't understand why or how it turns into that.

  In the mouse settings, make sure that ClickLock is unchecked.  This feature, if enabled, will cause the cursor being stuck in the corresponding mode.

• Can someone tell me please how to fix programs icon who turned into VLC player? I really need your help guys as soon as possible...

  

  Can someone tell me please how to fix programs icon who turned into VLC player? I really need your help guys as soon as possible...

  From what you have stated above, I think that the file association for LNK files has been given misdirection to the VLC Player. I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selecting the VLC Player (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in VLC Player as it should.

  

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by VLC Player and VLC Player icon to view the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unAssoc for its ease of use. I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on own OneDrive here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• letturns turn into white color when scrolling

  As soos I scroll down on this page http://www.familiealberda.nl/descend.php?personID=I331 & tree = albtree1, the letters turn into white and make them almost invisible, which they should not (they stay blue). I got concact with the manufacturer of software, but it has not experienced this problem in Firefox. I use Firefox because I remember and I never had a problem like this. I turned off all the addons and plugins, but this does not solve the problem. However, only from safe mode resolves and leaves letters in the original color. Renewal of Firefox or put it back (after deleting all the remains in hidden Appdata folders a program data and delete registry settings) does not. Only to restart in safe mode. I can't understand how solve me, made me switch to another browser, where I encounter this problem... Anyone?

  Hi, try turning off hardware acceleration, as shown in this article the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• Downloading Firefox, all my saved PDF documents have been turned into a Google Chrome document format, WHY? I want them all change to PDF, HOW?

  Downloading Firefox, all my saved PDF documents have been turned into a Google Chrome document format, WHY? WHY a person like me is not notified before that starts the download process so that they have a chance to 'place' or 'Cancel' the download process? I want that they all be changed to PDF, HOW should I do this?

  Nothing happened to your files. The association for PDF files is messed up, or is the icon cache.

  1. Click round Windows logo in the taskbar and choose default programs.
  2. Click "associate any type of file or Protocol with a program.
  3. Select PDF from the list, then click on change program button.
  4. Choose the program that you want to manage PDF files. By clicking on the files PDF in Windows Explorer or the desktop then open them in this application.

  To clear the cache of the icon, see the directions to

  As far as I know, Firefox does not have PDF files somehow. There is a proposal to associate files PDF in Firefox when they are not already associated with an application, but has not been implemented to date (bug 787674).
