This seems trivial but its driving me crazy. In control panel I went to pointer to get a new pointer as the other one disappears when I put it on white backgrounds. It is a black arrow now and guess what? It also disappears as well.I know it would not show in this writing. I'm tired of trying to locate it in my writings. Here and there and everywhere.! It is annoying.
Thank you very much Doodle bug7

Are you talking about the cursor arrow?

Ours falls off the page sometimes...one has to wiggle the mouse to find it.

There is a fix for constant arrow falling off the page. That happened to us once. But it was so long ago, I forgot it?

Jo would know.

]Thanks for the info. Yes it is my cursor arrow. It is difficult to locate it once I am writing amything. I have to click somewhere on the page
a dozen times to find it. Thanks again Doodle bug7Wheres my pointer?

You have to change a different setting.
on the mouse control panel settings go to pointer options
on the visibility section see if the - "hide while typing" is checked or not.

I'm guessing your is - uncheck it and see if that fixes it for you.

[ 1.

Open Mouse by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware, and then clicking Mouse.
2.

Click the Pointer Options tab, and then do any of the following:
*

To change the speed at which the mouse pointer moves, move the Select a pointer speed slider towards Slow or Fast.
*

To make the pointer work more accurately when you're moving the mouse slowly, select the Enhance pointer precision check box.
*

To speed the process of selecting a choice when a dialog box appears, select the Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box check box .
*

To make the pointer easier to find when you move it, select the Display pointer trails check box, and then move the slider towards Short or Long to decrease or increase the length of the pointer trail.
*

To ensure that the pointer doesn't block your view of the text you're typing, select the Hide pointer while typing check box.
*

To find a misplaced pointer by pressing the CTRL key, select the Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key check box.
