| | Can Not See Mouse Pointer on Screen When I am using either my touchpad or a wireless mouse I can not see my cursor pointer on screen most of the time. It is visible in some instances, but never visible when placed over text in an email, Word, etc. Any ideas? Thanks for your help |

| | Re: Can Not See Mouse Pointer on Screen Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately that check box wasn't checked and therefore didn't solve the problem. I lose the mouse pointer totally when I move over text, and therefore I can't highlight anything, etc. "dzomlija" wrote: Quote: > > squeeze_me_1;546533 Wrote: Quote: > > When I am using either my touchpad or a wireless mouse I can not see my > > cursor pointer on screen most of the time.

| | Re: Can Not See Mouse Pointer on Screen There are mouse options that allow you to hide the pointer while in a text program. This is usually ON by default. The pointer appears when you move the mouse. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "mikeEboston" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:4599f3ea2f1d9dd0cc3319ca5800aaec@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
