• 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.

• 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.

  See the links below for the Wow game and try the steps.

• White screen at the Vista start up... only the mouse pointer, loading the driver freezes on crcdisk.sys loading, sfc/scannow does not work...

  Hello
  I don't know if this is the right place for this post... Sorry if it's not! I had looked online if anyone has the same problem to me, I found similar problems, but not the mine one (but if there is, can you please give me the link?).
  I have a DELL LATITUDE D830's with a dual boot (Ubuntu and Vista). When I run Vista I get the Windows logo and then a black screen with only the mouse pointer.
  Keyboard does not work. I can move the mouse, but can not select anything. No work of Ctr + Alt + Delete.
  I can just turn off the computer. At first I need to press F8 to choose something otherwise I get the black screen.
  If I reboot requesting the automatic restoration of the PC that he asks me the account and work only account is mine a (no administrator available). He then suggested to contact the administrator. I checked the error report and nothing is reported: the system works.
  I have no previous configuration to restore.
  I can access the command prompt. So I tried to write sfc/scannow. The answer is that to complete the process requires to restart the computer and make again sfc/scannow. I restart again, the new order, but I get the same answer...
  When I get the black screen, CPU is not disabled, because after a long time (about 2 hours) the computer restarts itself... If something happens even if I don't know what!

  The only thing I have not tried is to restore Vista from CD... I'm really afraid that this could remove the partition, or crash at startup I have, by removing access to Linux!

  I have a backup of all my files, so no matter if what I have to do to cancel my files, but what I really need is to keep Linux operating.

  So, if you have any suggestions... I'm not good at using the computer, so, please, a solution step by step be really appreciate it!
  Thank you very much

• 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.

  On one of my computers when the mouse pointer moves to another window the focus switches to this window.  But this does not happen on my other machine.  Where can I find the setting for this?

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

  Whenever I use (64-bit) windows vista Media Center after it starts I can't use the mouse to move from one element to the element. I need to use the tab key, arrows and enter to do anything in media center. Is it possible to get to be able to use my mouse?

• the mouse pointer and cursor of dysfunction, cannot type, cannot connect to my user account?

  OK, I'm not sure how succinctly describe the problem since it is composed of so many things that have actually made my computer useless. I think it's a virus, but my virus scan did not come with something useful, so.

  Last night I watch Youtube videos and edit some pictures when I noticed that I had to type on the touch pad repeatedly until the computer responded. Then it stopped working completely (IE I could still move the mouse pointer, but couldn't click using the touch pad). I switched from windows to look for a solution on the internet, but when I clicked on the address bar of Google Chrome the cursor started ahead of his own, as someone has pressed the space bar - but I was not. This makes type impossible because there were huge gaps between each letter. I turned the computer off and back on (thanks, ICT courses), but the problem has not disappeared - only now, the mouse pointer disappeared sometimes still. It was getting late so I turned it off again and fell asleep.

  This morning as I began it upward there was noises Eman that makes it usually when I plug / unplug power. I tried to type in my password... and couldn't. The capslock wasn't on, I of course did not forget the password from one day to the next, but I kept receiving error messages and could not open a session. Even worse, when I tried to switch to an account that was not protected by Word, he kept jumping to the mine after maybe 3 seconds. I finally managed to click the icon of the second account and logged.

  The touchpad still don't click, when I open Chrome and clicked on the address bar he reacted as I clicked with the button right referring (so I couldn't type) and the mouse pointer always disappears randomly. I did a Norton quick scan and it came with 22 'risks' that he apparently 'fixed', but the problem has not yet disappeared. I would be v. grateful for a quick response, as the laptop is actually not mine, but my father (who keeps valuable most of his photographs on the hard drive).

  EDIT: I opened it in Mode without failure. the touchpad works now, but randomly on the keyboard keys have stopped working. Others come with a random combinations when I press on them, for example. "you" instead of "t", "p"] - when I press on «-» I can't even reinstall the keyboard drivers, because I can't type in my admin password.

  Also I do not know what topic to put this in so if it's wrong, please let me know!

• 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.

  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.
