Pensionada Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I am busy fixing an XP system for someone else. All has succeeded without too many problems except for the cursor in input fields. This has become a large block covering more than one position and I cannot get it back to the normal thin line.Obviously, I tried "start-config screen -mouse -pointers", but the input field cursor is not in that list.Anybody?

Tripredacus Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I also get a weird cursor on my computer at home. it looks like a backwards 1. It doesn't cause a problem but it just isn't the normal cursor. I never tried looking into changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tried looking into changing it.In this case, it does create problems because it covers more than one position, so if you make a typing error it is difficult to know where the cursor is exactly.That is why I am looking for a solution.

Is your Insert key stuck? Have you tried another keyboard? Just a thought.Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner tells me that he was playing around with all kinds of settings and then it happened .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
