My mouse cursor is sometimes a plus sign, not an arrow
Is anyone having a problem with their cursor on the computer screen appear as a sign, when you use the mouse? In a text document, it is the traditional vertical bar. When I move the cursor on the computer, it may be an arrow, but then turns into a symbol (target?) more. I can't understand what is the cause. I rebooted a couple of times. I use 10.11.3, but it has only recently begun.
You use 'Word' try anyway Cmd, Alt and sign together.

Sometimes my mouse cursor moves on its own. Am I being hacked?
hacked off the coast
When you work on the computer I think sometimes there's someone else who is controlling the mouse cursor. The cursor suddenly, usually to the lower left corner past. I now sign off the computer as soon as I see what is happening. Microsoft were down line twice to investigate this "ghost", but the question remains. Changed the access code to the whole, computer, etc email accounts, but still plays "ghost". Don't like what is happening because it seems that someone else is to read and to try to control what I do or see.Hello
I would suggest trying a different mouse to see if the problem persists.
In addition, some optical (non-balles wheel) mice do not like certain surfaces, including the mouse pad with pictures (especially the holograms). So try different surfaces/mouse mat too.

Mouse randomly turns into a bigger sign and does not act as a cursor to all the
original title: the behavior of the cursorSometimes, 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.

NB100 - mouse cursor flies around the screen
Hello
So, I bought the NB100 and noticed that something was not right but stupidly put upward with her for over 2 years. Now he is just really annoying as its happens more frequently and, possibly, gets worse!
Randomly, the mouse cursor flies around the screen, by clicking at the opening programs and files, etc. The only way to stop it is to turn off the laptop holding down the power button. She also does when I plug in a usb mouse (and disable the touchpad) so I assume that it is not the hardware, but I have reinstalled as the driver...
Usually, if I turn the laptop on its always crazy but if I start it in safe mode its fine. This made me think I had a virus but I did a scan and nothing shows.
In addition, I don't think that turn it off by holding the power button down is very good for the system that sometimes, when I try to turn it back on, it doesn't load at all (just a black screen with the cursor).
Help, please! I would be eternally grateful...
Thanks in advance, Nadia
need you pretty much time to fix. My advice is to reinstall Windows from disk image or hard drive recovery. Please, understand me, it's easier and quicker to reinstall rather try to fix it.

Laptop screen stays black with the mouse cursor only after that comes the HP and Windows logo
Hi all
No, my laptop model is HP Pavilion dv6 1337tx. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. So, today, I shut my laptop down by force by pressing the power button because it did not at this time. Then the next time I turned it the wrong problem started. Whenever I'm on the HP logo sometimes and then the Windows logo comes also. But then the screen stays black and the mouse cursor appears. So, what can be the cause of this problem? I also tried to open with 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with command prompt', but they did not help either.
Note - I tried the method of discharge after taking off the battery and holding down the power button. He could not help. All LEDS are working properly. I have no extra monitor, so I can't check the display elsewhere. Also, I ran the memory test which shows that everything is fine. Please suggest what I can do now as I can not enter the laptop now. What can be the reason?

Wireless mouse cursor will blink and become useless
Original title: problems with mouse cursors
System: Windows XP, Compaq Presario 2100
I prefer to use an external USB mouse. "Compatible USB and PS2 optical mouse wheel".
PID: 56180-576-9149431-3 PIN: X 08-71118
It works very well with my runing newest laptop Windows 7 and sometimes on the Compaq (as well as the mousepad). However, sometimes without apparent reason, the cursor flashes on and for most offshore, do any worthless pointing device. I tried to review the settings of control panel device (withdifficulty) and everything seems fine. I also tried several different mouse; same result.
I get a stable cursor to initialize to top, only up to the point where I select the user account to connect to. The pointing device then develops its own behavior.
Any ideas?
-Dan
Well, you can try this:
Go in start.
Right-click Workstation,
Then click on System Properties.
It should open a window, click the hardware tab.
Then click on the Device Manager button.
Expand mice and other pointing devices section,
Find your mouse, then right-click on it and click Uninstall.
Restart your computer.
When you log on to Windows, this should start automatically install the device software. Once it's done
the mouse should work fine, without flicker.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

mouse cursor jumps upward and to the left since September updated vista 2011
My mouse cursor jumps to the left on a 45-degree angle. This happens especially during the load of the new page. Sometimes the cursor passes on a title. I even bought a new mouse, same problem. This seemed to start after updates on 07/09/2011. Any thoughts? Thanks Butch
I activated Windows Areo turned off Windows Vista Basic, mouse works great. Go to appearance & Personalazation, custom colors, open classic for more color, click Windows Areo turned off, Windows Vista Basic, apply. Hope I got this right. Found this on a Logitech post since 2007, thanks to Poster!

Who can help me to WHO:
Sorry for fast hiking, misspellings, it's late and I do not use my normal computer to this problem I have.
I am currently sympthym to start the black screen with a white cursor (furniture, put in construction in the middle) with my laptop Dell Studio 15 (model 1537) that running Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2. He started tonight after repeatively, I tried to restore to a date prior to the System Restore tool. I wanted to get back to Monday due to some software installations. However, each attempt to restore failed and then after the 3rd or 4th attempt, when I tried to restart, I was faced with a window very long stop, and I was impacient and pressed and held the power button to stop it. Subsequent starts, I've known this problem with no solution having been found for the moment.
I tried several things at first, such that I tried Ctrl-alt-del, control-shift-esc, blindly connect with my fingerprint. I tried windows key combos, but no luck. Still stuck with screen black mouse cursor
I have my vista ultimate 64 bit installation disc, and I started with the dvd and tried to fix it. Automatic repair tool says he finds a problem with my start and had a difficulty to which I applied and rebooted. But it did not work.
Then, I tried to boot from the dvd again and did the repair option again, this time, Autostart reparir tool see nothing wrong with my start and I tried a system restore, but alas, it failed after having worked for a bit. Telling something about restoration being corrupted. I tried command prompt (X:\Source) and make chkdsk c: /p (which btw, implies / f as well) and it found some errors and repaired them or what not was wrong to write to newspapers, even if and then after long waiting, returns to the c: prompt. No effect.
On subsquent dvd boots, I tried the option to command line renaming a "Logs" directory and create a directory "Logs" empty (which was mentioned in some research online and even in a few posts here), but that has not solved the problem for me either.
Dvd later boots, I have tried regedit solution method, where you will load a SYSTEM key and set some sort of AUTHORITY NT set... but when I checked key, she was already the correct setting.
Then I learned that I could press the "Shift" key repeatedly while mode cursor screen black/white/and try the propmpt for keys pop-up to sticky. But he said no 'link' as many instructions in this message box. When I click 'Yes' to sticky keys, nothing is displayed and the pop-up closes. Ditto for the 'no '. There is no mention of accessibility settings.
I tried all modes of security, but just a white cursor plu experience. I have tried to use "last known configuration', 'debug mode', 'start logging mode', mode"disable driver signing"and again, the same thing, the cursor of the black and white screen. I'm really at my wit's end, and I don't want REALLY to re - install everything (operating system, programs, settings, etc.) ... I did not back upward, and I use this machine without problem for more than a year.
I remember once XP has a "repair install" mode which was really obvious to end users, since it looked almost identical to a clean install. I have also heard (but can't really confirm) Vista has no such a fashion, that, by clicking on install, he repaired to the simular OS to XP disks how would repair their facilities. I can't risk my data/programs/settings for accidental clean installation. Help, please!
Sincerely,
Robert EckmanAccording to me, put it back in place, is the only solution to your problem!

After a few hours, my mouse cursor gets... weird. She becomes a fatter version of himself (in his goal a bit biased as well) with multiple copies, overlapping itself in different colors. The cursor "hovering on the text" is not affected, its 'I' used remaining shape, but others, including the slider "arrow" by default and the "hovering on the hyperlink pointing to the hand" is weird. Turning on the traces of the mouse leaves a copy of the weird arrow cursor, but the normal mouse comes back and works well.
So, basically, how to avoid this strange, large, multicolored, slider which came into existence, and the case of activation of the traces of the mouse * is * the only way to turn it off, how can I get rid of the weird, big, multicolored cursor unsightly that lingers on my screen? Virus scan has not turned up all wicked. Would it be a specific program (it's a gaming computer and not all games are perfect...) which irritates my computer in a certain way and results do?
NOTE: I use a special gaming mouse or anything like that. It's a Dell which came with a (different) computer that I got years ago. Device Manager indicates that the drivers are up to date. I don't think it's a problem with this mouse especially, but I have no real way to check a different mouse on this computer without having to buy one.
Thanks for reading.
I'd be willing to bet that it's your video card driver. My Dell has an ATI video card and it happens sometimes. I have a graphics card dual monitor and oddly enough happens that on my primary monitor - display of the cursor on the screen 2 is not affected.
ATI made a patch for cursor problems, unfortunately the Dell that I use is in a corporate environment and they did not find enough critical to give me the patch again.
You could try the Dell support page, go to the downloads section and make sure you have the latest video card driver.

A part of the my s g80 lenovo touchpad does not (far left, to be more precise on the thick part of 5 cm), the cursor moves sometimes, bought this tour only 2 weeks before. I use especially the usb mouse, so never experienced this problem before, I do not know if it is still there since I bought. I contacted lenovo saying this problem, they asked to reinstall the driver for the touchpad from the link given, the problem persists and they claimed his driver with w7 incompatibility and reinstall the operating system? Please say a solution for this problem, I can't change the os now :(
Lenovo/support forums is the place to ask, its their software/driver.
Unless of course you make the mistake of using windows update for drivers, if so try to make back the driver, or reinstall on the Lenovo support site

Reconnect the mouse is back. Someone at - he had similar experiences? We have a zero client to connect to the virtual machines. We use Vmware View Horizon with the latest updates and only with PCoIP.
