Mouse Pointer Problems

I've recently had a problem with my computer, where the mouse pointer is not showing the standard pointer - but a hand instead. This causes problems when using websites, because I can't put information into comment boxes or drag and copy text. I'll have another google on this, but I don't know what caused it, and it's annoying me now. |

Dunno what caused it but did you try Control Panel>>Mouse>>Pointers>>Default? |

have you tried other browsers? try a system restore back a few weeks. You won't lose any data, it just does system settings. |

Tried all those things apart from another browser - quite happy with this one thanks. Even deleted all cookies and temp internet files. Still no luck. |
| ||
Is this all the time or just within the browser? If the latter you might try reinstalling the browser. |
| ||
If it's just within the browser then it might be some adware/spyware that takes the whole window... |

Have you checked your settings in windows explorers Folder Options to see if it's been set to Single-click to open an item? Last edited 2010 |

Also, try disabling accessibility settings in windows. %WINDIR%\system32\utilman.exe /start |

Oops. Turns out there's a 'panning hand' icon on my browser, and that was turned on. |
