The mouse pointer is INVISIBLE when you browse games!

I like to play games on my computer Windows 8 but that is finished since my mouse pointer is completely invisible and I can't navigate the game or make choices.

[Moved from comments]

If your mouse works correctly on all the rest, the normal conditions of use and games except Farm Frenzy, I can only conclude that there is something in their programming that is causing the problem.  Their program may not really win 8 compatible as they claim.  Do not play.

    When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs!

    This problem happens using the touchpad only or have you noticed the freezing of cursor using the external USB mouse too?

    What is the notebooks touchpad works properly without loading and using this 3rd party software?
    For example, work the touchpad with Microsoft office (Word, Excel, etc.) or navigation in internet by using IE or Chrome?

    My guess is that the pre-installed 3rd application part could affect the functionality of the touchpad.

    Hello
    When exactly the problem occur?
     
    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Test the issue in safe mode and check if the keyboard is blocked.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If your computer very well in Safe Mode functions, you can put your system to boot and check if any third party or any service application is causing the problem and therefore the computer to freeze.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you can go ahead and disable or uninstall the same.
     
    Once the system is in a clean boot state, check if the computer continues to block or not.

  • The mouse pointer (still) disappears when using the color picker

    Someone suggested to start a new discussion, since the old writing is a couple of years now. Thanks for the tip!

    Whenever I select a color using the eyedropper icon small (used to be a magnifying glass) in the color picker, the cursor goes away after I made the choice of colors.

    I have that experience under El Capitan, but I had the same problem in Yosemite as well as Mavericks and on Mac computers. I've seen this behaviour being reported in the forum for older versions, such as the Mountain Lion, but never with a real solution (workaround has been on creating a new user and delete the old).

    I hope someone has a solution for now.

    The eyedropper tool worked very well for me and still does (I just checked).

    If creating a new user solves the problem then, you have some corrupted in your account settings, or, less likely, you run an application (possibly a connection point) which is the origin of the problem.

    Hold down the option key, and then use

    Finder > go > library

    menu item. You have a folder 'ColorPickers? If so, is it empty?

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Maybe something here: [check Control Panel - mouse or TouchPad (as applicable)]

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

    Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
    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
    Single click to open an item - APPLY / OK

    If some people are well positioned can change to some other setting if you plan to leave
    them that way and then change again.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Move the point of origin when you use the scale tool

    Hello

    Can someone tell me if it is possible to move the point of origin when you use the scale tool? By default, when I change by dragging an anchor of the corner, the opposite corner is used as the origin. Ideally, I would like to to scale using an origin that is biased, I can specify sort. I know that you can do during the rotation, but I was not able to determine if this goal is achievable during the measurement. I use Illustrator CC 2015.3.1 and Mac.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Jason

    Click where you want the origin to be. Or move the reticle. Exactly the same as with the rotation tool.

  • Can not see the mouse pointer

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.
