  • Satellite M500 - Mouse pointer disappears when you play games online

    I have a brand new, custom configured M500 form Toshiba. It has Windows 7 Professional Enterprise, 64-bit edition. Everything worked great until I spent a lot of money on the game Star Trek Online. When I go in the game, the mouse pointer disappears. I can see on the screen change action items when the mouse hover over them but no pointer. It makes the game difficult. Then I tried another game online, Free Realms, and I have the same problem.

    I use a Logitech V220 Wireless mouse. I uninstalled the Logitech driver to see if that was the issue. I allowed Windows to use the default driver provided with the system. It does not work.

    I called Toshiba and they had me remove the device and selected Windows generic driver for that. It works no more. The guy on the line said it would enter my service call and that she would go to a senior technician and they would call me within 24 hours. It has been two weeks and not a glance.

    Anyone else has this problem or know of any other way I can try to solve it?

    Hello

    To me that sounds like this, there is a problem (incompatibility) between this online game and your external mouse...
    In your case I remove the mouse and uninstall the driver. Run CCleaner to clean the registry. Now try the touchpad online.

    More update the display and DirectX as Al - eX driver already written.

  • In Windows 7 we select several lines of data that are in a different location on the page (no continuous lines) through the mouse or keyboard and also can we copy all lines of these different at the same time to paste somewhere else in one fell swoop.

    > Now I'm unlable to select more number of lines that are not a sequence in a single page to copy the data rows and paste somewhere in one fell swoop.
    > Is this concept implemented in Windows 7. ?
    > Is there a provision (method) to select several lines that are not continuous across the keyboard or the mouse in windows 7?

    Byagaris,
    It depends on what program you are trying to copy and paste into.  You are able to select continuous, multiple lines, by using the Ctrl Key and clicking, or by highlighting the desired line.  For example, I held the Ctrl key and then, using the mouse, has highlighted several different phrases in the various paragraphs, and could then copy them.  This feature is available for several versions of windows.
    If you are not able to perform this action then post what happens when you try and what program you try it.

  • Windows 8 mouse pointer disappeared

    Hello...

    I use an old Toshiba laptop for 1 month, running Windows 8 (upgrade of Windows 7, which has been installed at the time of purchase)
    So far, everything worked well, but today, the pointer of the mouse just froze everything in browsing the internet.
    I restarted the laptop (by finally, after working on the keyboard shortcuts), and now the mouse pointer does not appear at all - I can only control things from the keyboard - which is very difficult.
    When I turned off the laptop (the first time, with the pointer of the frozen), it updates installed, and when he returned he configured these updates - so maybe it's something to do with it?
    Please help - thanks!

    Thanks for the answer is very simple! I've looked everywhere.

  • I use the touch screen of Windows 8, and after that I use it, my mouse pointer disappears

    My problem is similar to other positions, but not exact.

    When I use the touch screen of my computer in windows 8, the mouse disappears and does not come up until I restart the computer.  After the restart, if I use the touch screen, even once, the needle does not again.

    Hi Tony,.

    This problem is caused due to conflicts of device, you will not be able to use the touch cursor when a mouse is connected. You will be able to tap on the touch keyboard, but when you scroll or drag the mouse cursor disappears. I suggest you to disable one of the device and check if it helps.

    To disable the touch screen, refer to the following steps:

    a. click the Start button and click Control Panel.

    b. access the material and audio.

    c. click Pen and Touch.

    d. click on the contact tab.

    (e) uncheck the box use the finder as input, this disables touch and stylus.

    Otherwise, you will need to disconnect the mouse.

    Please reply with the status of the issue so that we can better help you.

  • Mouse pointer disappears on the second monitor

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion TX2000, Vista Home Premium 64-bit, running with an Acer 17 inch flat screen as a second monitor.

    After the awakening of fashion 'sleep' mouse cursor is no longer visible on the secondary monitor. The cursor is really active on this screen, because you can see different buttons highlite that you move the mouse, and if "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key," is checked in the properties of the mouse, you can see where the pointer is located, while the pointer is not visible.

    This happens with the keyboard or an external mouse; with the monitor connected to the VGA on the laptop or the VGA of the docking station port. I have the latest video drivers. Vista is updated with SP1 and all other updates.

    Strangely, if I have a Virtual PC window on the secondary monitor, the mouse cursor is visible in the virtual machine, but not in the screen space that surrounds the window of the VPC.

    There seems to be many other people with the same problem, using different combinations of material. The ususal job is to allow "Pointer trails", that work somehow, but cause other problems such as stuttering and loss of the cursor in the text entry areas.

    It is a real pain, because the only way to recover the pointer is to restart. I hope that someone here has a solution. The problem is also included in Windows 7.

    fnotneyrod,

    Although Microsoft works closely with many OEMs and parts 3d and worked by ensuring compatibility with hundreds of devices and applications Microsoft does not guarantee the functionality of these devices or applications. It is the responsibility of the OEM / 3rd party to provide drivers or updates for their products in order to make them work under Windows.

    We recommend you to contact HP for help as this seems to be the associated driver compatibility.

    Another option would be to test this situation under an environment 32-bit (many manufacturers offer more compatible drivers for 32-bit systems as they were longer).

  • The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?

    The same drive letter may point to different locations for different processes?

    Our users have the E: drive mapped to one place. But I need a scheduled task in order to use the E: drive to point to a different location at the same time, without affecting the mapping of moose for logged in users.

    There is no work around this need of ours. This is because users are working 24 X 7 update of our data files on the E: drive, and a log file is made. We plan prevent users for a minute every night while move us / save the log file and then allow users of the resume and allow a new log file to create. Then take the saved log file and apply it to a real set of monthly backup of data files, so the backup files will be ready for a recovery after disaster. The program that applies the transactions recorded in the data files is able to apply operations to files that are considered as being in the same exact location.

    I know that's not possible without resorting to the application logs a set of files on a completely different machine. But I ask.

    Thank you

  • Disappearing mouse pointer when running games in Win7

    The mouse pointer disappears when you run one of quite a few games under Win7 64-bit.
