| | Cursor is now White - I want the normal Black I-Beam back I have a recent problem where I do computer training. We have recently started to use Virtual Machines for our training. The cursor is now WHITE so it is very hard to edit. The only way that I have been able to deal with the problem is to change the Word document background to another color like black, blue, etc. This happens in Word 2007 along with Excel 2007 and PowerPt 2007. I want it to be the normal, black I-beam. We are using MS Virtual PC 2007 service pack 1. I asked our Virtual Machine guru at work and he said that he didn't know how to solve this problem. Have any of you run into this yet? Is this fixable in the Virtual Machine world? I would greatly appreciate any assistance in solving this problem. Thanks! Jugglertwo |
