Annoying Little Blinking Hand Cursor

I'm not sure where it came from, but I've noticed the last few days that I suddenly have this blinking hand/arrow cursor when I'm online. I thought it was just on one site, but it isn't; it shows up everywhere. I've run AVG; it doesn't pick up anything. I've tried going into settings, but the arrow is chosen...not this weird blinking hand thing. Any ideas how to permanently get rid of it and go back to my arrow? Many thanks.

The mouse controls was the first place that I went - it does nothing. :( I'm beginning to think it's a script that's downloaded from somewhere; I have no idea where to even begin to look for something like that.

  • My "little hand" cursor disappeared

    This morning the "little hand" cursor disappeared. It used to appear over links, now all I have is that kind of capital I shaped thingy. It is an arrow until I go over a link or choice to select. Whats up?

    Hi there...thanks for the reply but that didn't work. I still have the weird blinkie hand/arrow cursor. And thanks, Alan, for finding my original question; not sure why it wasn't showing up in my account.

  • Problem with my hand cursor: it shows three little hands

    Hi there,
    I work for many years with CS4 and now suddenly, my hand cursor shows up as three little hands in a row. I don't know what went wrong or how to correct this. Please help

    Hi there,
    That works! And my mouse is scrolling a lot smoother too! Thanks a lot! I am very grateful.

  • Open and closed hand cursors

    I have a drag image application and I wanted to use the open and closed hand cursors to move the image about. It seems there is no easy way of accessing these in Java. After searching for cursor names etc.. I decided to hard code the cursors from the .gif image. Also I didn't want the .GIFs as files as this adds to loading problems so I ended up using arrays of pixels that took a little while to enter.
    I'm giving you the code if you ever need to use it as I typed it in and wouldn't want anyone else to have to do the same.

    you can use the same query...Also check the new code after the select..
    SELECT BUKRS BELNR GJAHR <b>BSTAT</b>
    FROM BKPF
    INTO TABLE T_BKPF
    WHERE BUKRS = P_BUKRS
    AND BSTAT IN ( ' ' , 'A' ) " ' ' - Normal document, A - Parked doc
    AND BLART = P_BLART
    AND CPUDT IN SO_CPUDT " Selection screen input.
    IF NOT T_BKPF[] IS INITIAL.
    SELECT BUKRS BELNR GJAHR BUZEI EBELN AUGBL AUGBT
    INTO TABLE T_BSEG
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_BKPF

  • Firefox shows a blinking "edit" cursor in the body of all websites when I click.

    Clicking a button within a webpage puts a blinking text cursor in the body of the site, as if editing a Word document. It's not causing any other problems besides being really annoying and distracting, but it only just started today. I've tried restarting Firefox with add-ons disabled, as well as reinstalling Firefox clean.

    1. try pressing F7
    2. system restore

  • How do I show a hand cursor for a text entry box button

    I'm using Captivate 5 and have run into an annoying problem...
    For a general click box, there is an option for "Show hand cursor over hit area" which will result in the cursor changing to a hand when rolling over the click box region in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the 'submit' button in the text entry box. Is this even possible?  I'm hoping to keep things consistent as a user is clicking through the presentation.
    I find it odd that it doesn't have the same property as found on the clickbox considering it has the same purpose.  I'm using a background screenshot image to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actualy hiding the submit button, but the button I want them to press lacks the hand cursor that would indicate it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to move on because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving on.
    Hope that all makes sense.

    Hi there
    Another approach is to use a Rollover Caption. Just remove any text and configure the caption as transparent. Then layer the Rollover area over the part where you want the hand to change to a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change will occur. Clicking will then result in triggering the underlying Submit button, which appers to be invisible and layered over an image.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Help with dynamic text and hand cursor

    The buttons that I am creating are not displaying the hand
    cursor. I tried searching for an answer, and have found nothing.
    They are movieclip buttons with a dynamic text field. I already
    switched them out to non-selectable text, and I am using:
    b1.buttonMode = true;

    Perfect. I knew it was some little snippet that I was
    forgetting. I made a temporary fix of creating a 0% alpha box over
    the button like a fake click area above the text, and that worked
    but I know that it was a half-arsed way of working around it.
    Thanks.

  • Firefox 3.6.x mouse hand cursor is low resolution?

    I'm having a weird issue that I can't believe I can't find on Google. I have a brand-new MacBook Pro with 10.6.4 installed. I installed Firefox 3.6.8 and when I hover over a link, the "hand cursor" denoting a hyperlink is not grey; it's completely black and white. I have this problem with Lotus Notes and Lotus Symphony too; it is as if these applications don't honor a higher resolution cursor set or something.
    When I use Safari 5, the hand cursor appears totally normal; grey with shading to make it look more multidimensional. Does anyone else have an issue like this?

    Bump.
    I'm having the same... "issue".
    I'd like to have a shadow on the hand cursors - like Safari links - that appear in all "flash" objects on the Mac. It appears that it is 2D and has no shadow when running certain applications. Firefox's hand cursor for links are always 2D and this annoys me.
    I hope someone has... a solution to this.

  • Unnecessary Hand-Cursor Bug

    I feel like this is most likely a remnant of Work Areas, but it doesn't need to be here anymore.
    Steps to reproduce bug/glitch:
    Open any timeline in any version of the software post the deletion of work areas
    hold down the Alt key on a PC
    hover over where the work area used to be in the timeline
    you should see a hand cursor, but I'm pretty certain it serves no purpose anymore
    You can even click and drag, and the hand will grab nothing and move the nothingness around.
    It's a weird little bug, and it doesn't seem to negatively affect anything, but I figured I'd report it anyway. Can anyone reproduce this on a Mac? Or is it a PC only thing?

    Hi TeeKay,
    It's a bug: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
    You're finding some good ones. Thanks for reporting.

  • Stuck on Hand Cursor

    Hi,
    Since yesterday, almost every time I open Fireworks, I get
    the hand cursor, and cannot select any other tool.
    I tried deleting my preferences, to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, I've had this problem along with a few others who have
    posted it here,
    for some time now. I am at a complete loss as to why it
    happens. It is very
    annoying and I have lost a considerable amount of time trying
    to find a
    solution, to no avail.
    However If I shut down my machine completely and restart it,
    thankfully the
    problem goes away, for me at least. So I recommend you try
    that.

  • Windows Boots to Black Screen w/Blinking white cursor, and then...

    I installed a new OCZ sata II SSD in my iMac 27' mid-2010.  I bought the cables and pressure wall from an AASP, so it's all Apple in there except for the OCZ drive. The 2TB internal drive (factory) is in there, too.
    Installed SL to the SSD and updated to 10.6.8 and man, does this machine fly now!
    So I used Boot Camp to create a windows partition, 40GB on the SSD, then went through the WIndows 7 install process.  My WIndows disc is a retail copy - totally legit.
    So the installer finishes, and I used the disc that came with the iMac to install the Boot Camp drivers (vs 3.1)
    Then Windows restarts and - fail
    Black screen with blinking white cursor.  Tried the command fixes to the MBR - no joy.
    Here is the weird thing: if I put the Windows installer in the optical drive, then boot to the Startup Disk Manager (holding down option at power up) I can select the installer dvd, and when the prompt comes up "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD" if I just leave it for a moment, the operating system boots from the SSD.
    Weird.  But, thats what I've been doing as a workaround.  That and using Fusion to reach over to the Boot Camp partition and run it as a virtual machine (which works just fine).
    Anybody know how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    Jason

    I FOUND My answer.
    I opened the iMac back up and swapped the SATA data cables so that the cable designated for the factory installed internal HD led to my self-installed SSD - now it works as it should.
    No errors on the internal HD either.
    I beleive that EFI looks for the Windows MBR to be on the 1st drive bay.  If I had modified my system by patching the MBR or EFI somehow I guess I could have got it to work, but as it is the cables reached and all is well.
    As an aside, I came to this deduction when I removed the internal HD from the iMac and tried to boot from the SSD WIN7 partition and still could not.  Then I took the same SSD out and popped it into my MBPro and it worked.  My guess was that somehow the presence of another internal HD of any kind was confusing the boot loader, but I now believe it is the drive bay designation.
    Hope this helps someone else who has added a SSD to their single drive iMac mid-2010

  • How do I fix a blinking white cursor upon startup?

    At first this may seem like the same question asked a million times, but I have yet to find an answer for it. So, I was setting up Windows 7 via Bootcamp when my iMac froze. I ended up having to shut down and boot it back up, but now whenever I boot up it does the chime, takes forever to load, and comes up with a blinking white cursor on a black screen. I tried to eject the install disk, do Cmd + R, multiple things with no solution. Please help!

    I am having this problem I get through the whole bootcamp assistant and it restarts and blinking cursor? I tried hard shut down holding alt key to get to boot disc option but I cant get windows to start it just keeps going to black screen with blinking cursor. how did you solve this?

  • Hand cursor not showing on Drag and Drop interaction Submit button

    Does anyone know why the hand cursor doesn't show when I hover over the submit button on a drag and drop interaction slide created in CP7 and published as HTML5?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks @rickhumpries86. What I did was I narrowed the problem down to a text animation. I only left 2 elements on the stage:
    1) A button
    2) A text animation (a plus sign)
    In this first picture of the stage, the problem exists. The frame of the + is indicated but is not overlapping the button.
    How I corrected it was I had to move the text animation up about 9 times (Ctrl + up arrow) to the position indicated in this next screen shot. Then there was no interference from the + text animation. For the animation I used the Disperse effect. To get the + sign that large, I used Arial size 72 font. So I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, or there is something else that I'm not understanding about the interaction of the text animation and its affect on the stage to other elements.
