Cursor does not change with tool selection

Has anybody experienced this? My cursor suddenly does not change with the selection of tools when working on photos. Once I roll over the picture the arrow is lost and becomes a strange 3 small things, so can't do any work accurately. Still using PS 7 in Win 7. This was not a problem previously. Already uninstalled and reinstalled and problem is still there. I have searched for where this can be fixed. So far no luck. Any suggestions?

First answer, PS 7, not Elements. Second answer, BIG THANKS, the dpi change corrected the problem.
It was an odd issue as PS was working fine for years and then suddenly the problem occured, even though I had not changed the dpi recently.
A true glitch. Thanks again for the fix. Working fine again.

Tool cursor does not change or does not show up

If you change tools in Photoshop but the cursor does not change (or disappears entirely), this indicates a bug in your video card driver. To fix it, you need to update your video card driver.
Sometimes you can fix it temporarily by turning down the hardware or driver acceleration in the properties panel for the video card.

Cursor does not change for pop-up window

I created a link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
Thanks in advance.

Hi Todd,
i got the same problem.(cursor not change for pop-up windows) and because i m not an expert in internal html code i did try several solutions to fix it.
The easiest (but also even longer if u need to do severals) is to create a button (withs 2 overflight changing pics) with "inserer", "image survolée"
the "image survolée" can be linked to a pop-up window with the correct effect. To do so highlight the "expected new link to" and on right side task bar ad a "comportement" named "ouvrir la fenetre du navigateur" and optionally choose the size and windows available function of the pop-up. It works even if u need to proceed first with an overflight changing button.
The result is longer to obtain and not absolutely perfect. So I guess it s only an help solution for a single mateer. i would be glad to get another solution with a text link rather than using the overflight button system. Technically it should be better, more efficient and faster to proceed with applying an html code that really makes the text appearing as a classic link to a new windows whatever pop up or full size window. Please let me know if u get further answer to fix this problem.
Many thx and excuse my technical english translation about DreamCs4

Cursor does not change to a circle when using eraser

Cursor does not change to a circle when using the eraser.
I'm sure it must be a tick box somewhere.
Its always been ok previously.

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

Cursor does not change when hovering over pop-up window link

I created a text link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code.This was done in CS3. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
Thanks in advance.
Todd

A link would be nice but I suspect that you are not gettign the finger (you knwo what I mean) when you roll over the link because your href is not set to anything.
<a href="" onclick=MM_openBrWindow('images/image.jpg','largeDisplay','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=100,height=120')
Set your href to "#" or "javascript:;" - the latter is preferred.

Cursor does not change during the editing of clips

Hi. I am new to iMovie and am looking for some help. I have imported my clips, put them in my timeline and I want to shorten the clips. According to the movie that is on the Apple web site, when moving my cursor over the line separating my clips, my cursor is to 'change' allowing me to shorten the clip. Well, my cursor does not change. Is there a setting that needs to be corrected. Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Hi konrad - the View Menu DOES have a 'Show Clip Volume Levels" IF you are using iMovie HD!
But according to your Profile you have iMovie 4. Volume control in that version is at the bottom beneath the Timeline Audio tracks.
Hope this helps clear up your confusion.
Better to use the iMovie 4 forum in your case!:-)

Tabset in page fragment , the url does not changes when we select tabs...

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
i noticed that when we use a tabSet in a page fragment , selecting tabs does not change the current URL ,
is it a correct manner ? I think when we select a tab and it opens another page the url should change.

HI,
There is a relevant topic on EA discussion.

Cursor does not change and dock is not responding

mac mini mid 2011, 10.9.5 logitech wireless keyboard and mouse (wave). Dell 20 something inch monitor with lighting to mini display to hdmi.
My cursor will get stuck on the arrow and not change on text input fields or the index finger to select links. If it does change at some random point, it will stay to whatever it changes, until it decides to change again. This will change every 10 to 15 minutes depending on how heavy I'm using it. The dock is also not responsive. If it is hidden, it will not pop up, if it is up on magnify, it will not magnify. Once in a great while it will magnify, but only to one spot and will not change.
In addition, when I hover the mouse, things will not appear or recognize the mouse, like a print or zoom on the bottom of a pdf, or even a field on some web pages. It will not allow me to select some fields. www.jobs.ca.gov is the best example, I can not type a search or select a position. One time I even had the system settings icon stuck to my mouse and could not put it back on the dock. It followed the mouse, when I would single click, it would stay where it was, unless it was at the dock. If I double clicked it would open.
I've only had this mini for about 4 months, this problem has only been going on for the past couple weeks. There have not been any changes in those past few weeks that I'm aware of. I did upgrade to 2 4gb ram 6 weeks ago and did a software update to 10.9.5 about 2 weeks ago, but I was hoping that would fix this problem. It did not.
I was also having tons of problems with safari about a week ago, but a reboot into a certain mode, then back to normal reboot solved that.
Thanks everyone in advance for you time and help.

AR Aging Report does not change with Posting, Due, and Document selections

It appears to me that when you run the AR Aging report with the same date ranges in each of the date selection fields, Posting, Due and Doument, you do not get a different display of aging buckets. Does this report always display data based on Due Date?

Hi Bill,
When you run the AR Aging report change "Age by" option and check aging buckets are changing or not it has to change.
Thanks,
Sachin

Date format does not change with the Regional and Language Options in 2008

I have a one-column report that was created using the SQL "select current_date" in postgres. (Thinks select getdate() ).
In Crystal Reports XI when I change the "Standards and Formats" of Regional Options to:
English (United States) the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
English (Canada) the date is in the format dd/mm/yy
Japan the date is in the format yyyy/mm/dd
In Crystal Reports 2008 when I change the "Standards and Formats" of Regional Options to:
English (United States) the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
English (Canada) the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
Japan the date is in the format mm/dd/yy
It doesn't change. Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance,
J

hey Jason,
i am going through some of the old forum posts and saw that no one replied to your language options post.
for cr 2008, there are language packs for the applicable languages. there are advantages for this as you can save installation space with the option of installing language packs for each language that you want the designer application to be in.
you have seen the disadvantage as it doesn't work the same as before.
you do not need the language packs for testing though. in the crystal reports View menu, switch up to the Product Viewing Locale to test objects which are using "system" settings such as dates.
if you do wish to install any language packs so that you can change up the actual language in the designer, go to your install media. in the install files "\package\langs\" directory, you will see a folder for each language that you need. install the desired language(s).
once you have installed a language pack and then restart the cr designer, you will now have the additional language in the View > Product Locale.
so in summary...Product Locale will change the language of the whole designer...language packs are needed for this.
Preferred System Locale can be used to test languages without having to change your windows system settings.
i hope that this helps,
jamie

Cursor does not change on disabled controls

How can I set another cursor on disabled nodes?
My use case:
I want to disable a node, while a Task is running and simultaneously change the cursor to the wait cursor.
But it has no effect, if the node is disabled.
Any solutions?
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TestApp3 extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        launch();
    public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        VBox root = new VBox();
        Button button = new Button("Test Button");
        root.getChildren().add(button);
        root.setDisable(true);
        root.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
}

can I set another cursor on disabled nodes?apparently not - log a jira with your test case.
Any solutions?A couple of workarounds.
Set the cursor on the parent of the disabled region (wrapping the disabled region in a pane for this specific purposes if needed).
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class DisabledControlCursor extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
@Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(new Button("Test Button"));
    Pane wrapper = new Pane();
    wrapper.getChildren().add(root);
    root.setDisable(true);
    wrapper.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
    Scene scene = new Scene(wrapper);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}Set the cursor on the entire scene containing the disabled region.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class DisabledControlCursor extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
@Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(new Button("Test Button"));
    Scene scene = new Scene(root);
    root.setDisable(true);
    scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}

In Firefox window below toolbar, I am unable to click on links in the upper part of the window, ie the cursor does not change into the hand icon and the link is not highlighted.

The toolbar and the lower part of the window works normally, as does the whole window in Internet Explorer.
I have reinstalled Firefox with no improvement.

Many thanks SafeBrowser; I think the Yahoo and Babylon extensions were the problem. Didn't want them anyway!
