The mouse pointer turns into a pointer to 'move' for no reason

I have been using a new laptop for a few months now.  All of a sudden the mouse began to change at random from the standard windows arrow pointer, a pointer to 'move' - this is a pointer with 4 arrows pointing outward.

The change seems to occur in any specific situation.  Sometimes the pointer turns back on its own, but usually I have to go into the control panel and accept the default settings of the mouse again to retrieve the pointer of the mouse to normal.  The change to the pointer 'move' is not in the Control Panel mouse - settings settings don't never change.

I tried the following things:
-change my settings of the mouse pointer to the user the dinosaur mouse pointer scheme, but the same problem occurs
-Uninstall mouse drivers and let the PC to reinstall the driver automatically at startup

I use a USB mouse.  When I use the laptop without the USB mouse, the problem actually gets worse.  In this case, the mouse pointer changes, and the mouse pointer freezes.  My main concern is the modification of the pointer, not the gel.

Anyone seen this before?  In addition, no one knows how to fix this problem?

Thank you.

I ended up having my motherboard replaced on my laptop keyboard and Mouse touchpad.  Then only the problem was solved.

  • Do not turn the mouse pointer in one hand. Why?

    Hello!

    Why, when I do a (adding an action to a symbol) button, the mouse pointer doesn't turn into a helping hand, when I put the key?

    And how to fix it?

    Thank you

    You can set the cursor of the mouse for a symbol or element by using the mouse cursor option in the properties panel.

    I think that the addition of that action will not turn a div for the tag button.

  • Turn off the mouse pointer shadow power in Server 2008?

    Server 2003 there was a registry called UserPreferencesMask value that could be used to turn off the shadow of the mouse pointer to the complete operating system, including the login screen. This registry value does not exist in Server 2008. Anyone know how to disable the whole OS mouse pointer shadow in Server 2008?

    Here's an expanded section of a screenshot showing no shadow on the mouse pointer after a reboot and have disconnected after putting the UserPreferencesMask key in the Windows registry in Windows Server 2008 under the 'HKEY_USERS_\.

  • 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!

  • Change the mouse pointer to the location of the bearing

    I'm working on Excel/simulations for training, and at some point I want to ask the students to resize a column by clicking twice between the column headings.  When they do this in Excel, the cursor turns into a 'sign with the arrows on the sides' to signify that they are on the exact point.  I can insert a rollover image to this place that shows the correct cursor type, but it is display the image at that location, while the mouse pointer remains hand.

    Is it possible in Captivate 9 to force the mouse pointer to change the specific locations of flipping?

    If the output is HTML5 you can do it with CpExtra as explained here:

  • Anyone know how to get the mouse pointer visible on the extended screen?

    Well, I finally managed to work on a way to project my w4 iconia on my TV.  So grateful to a number of people in the community for me that far, but every step seems to bring his own fresh problem to enter.  so a few questions:

    1. anyone who manages to get the iconia w4 to duplicate rather than extend?

    2 - does anyone know how I can control the expanded view - I have a mouse plugged into my iconia so that I can flip through the window I want to show it on the extended screen but the mouse pointer does not appear as visible on the display (TV) extended although it does not work but the shooting blind is very frustrating - okay, if I watch a movie as soon as it runs on the extended screen it does not much you must handle but assuming I want to just browse the internet and project that onto the extended screen, so it's a big problem.

    My apologies if these are stupid questions, I'm not very technically savvy.

    TYIA

    This seems odd. I always change an extra-large pointer and traces of mouse long but have never had a problem with the HDMI screens like that.

    What is the brand and model of your TV please? Maybe someone can duplicate.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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

  • 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

    Hi seymar,.

    I suggest that you run a tool to restart system on the computer and check if it works.

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  • 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.
