Cursor (Mouse pointer) icon automatically changes

I am using Windows 8.1 and Office 365.
I have downloaded a mouse pointer icon in .cur format. I applied changes to the mouse pointer and it changed successfully. For sometime it will remain the same, but later (a few days) it changes back to the default pointer icon.What is the problem here?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm agree with Milos, we are not suggest user using 3rd pointer, it maybe had compatibility problem that would caused potential problem.

    I would suggest a new feature:The possibilty  to change the mouse pointer icon when you hover on an active link by any other one icon I select.

    Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • Disable the mouse pointer icon!

    As in the title, is there a way to disable the mouse pointer
    icon, ie when you rollover the button it changes to the "finger". I
    dont want to see the "finger" I just want it to remain as the
    "arrow"

    Well, I must by now reply to all of you.
    First, "urami" made a good point when referring to kiosk
    interfaces. It makes sense to have no roll over in this case and I
    fully agree with this statement.
    But in the case of the interfaces we commonly create in Flash
    we need the finger icon to indicate that there is a photo-button or
    a drawing-button or a clickable text here and, if we want to "hide"
    it or if we do not want the user click it, we can with simple
    functions (related to _x and _y mouse position) disable or enable
    depending the circumstances the hot spot when the pointer rolls
    over it.
    The quoted remark of "DMennenoh" is not relevant.
    Why? Simply because in the OS all buttons are clearly
    designed as... buttons! There is no need to change the pointer icon
    as we perfectly know what we are going to do and where we must move
    the pointer to do the action: Open, Save, etc. And it is not only
    the case for buttons, it's also the case for the menu bar...
    In the interfaces we design, it is not always the case.
    In all my interfaces, I always have in mind these:
    How shall I react if I see this interface for the first time?
    What can I do and where?
    I suppose you'll agree with me if I say that some interfaces
    are so bad that it is very helpful to have the finger icon just to
    indicate that the area under the pointer is clearly a hot spot...
    I think this discussion is far from ending...

  • Mouse pointer icon

    My mouse pointer changes to other icons then does not change back to the default arrow.
    It has done this since installing tiger 6 months ago. I discovered if I move the pointer around the dock launch it will randomly get fixed.
    Anyone have a suggestion?

    Not really sure if this will help, but try moving the Scroll Speed to a slower one.

  • T43p - Mouse pointer freezes after changing the battery to a new one

    Hello,
    I have bought a new battery for my IBM Thinkpad T43p. In the description of the new battery I have seen that this battery is compatible with T43 series. Battery details are: DC 10.8V 5200mAh/56Wh. Replace: 08K8214.
    My problem is:
    I have ordered a new battery for my Thinkpad T43p but when I turned off  the notebook and replace the old battery with the new one the notebook became strange. I use Windows XP Prof on this computer and when the login screen appeared and during I was typing my user name and password the mouse pointer was freezed and I had to turn off the computer. It was happened within approx 1 minute after the Login screen appeared. The symptom was the same with or without plugged in AC charger. I have tried several times and the same behavior was happened. When I changed back the old battery the computer became normal again without any freezing. The fan was working properly in both cases. The symptom is the same if I change the battery during AC charging and using Windows. 
    I don't have an idea about the reason of it. Can you help me with ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Slider

    Pull the battery out and run the machine on AC only. Does it freeze now?
    If it doesn't, the "new" battery needs to be replaced.
    Good luck.
    Cheers,

  • Spinning ball and mouse pointer icons look really low res!

    Why do the spinning ball and mouse pointer on my 24" look graphically low res?
    I know it's only a minot point but it kind of spoils the beautiful look of the screen.

    Go to System Preferences/Universal Access/Mouse. Toward the bottom of the Mouse pane is the slider for the cursor size set to normal?

  • "Large" folder icons automatically changes to "List"

    I am using Windows 8.1 and Office 365.
    There are some folders and files in my system that I prefer "Large" icons.
    Problem:
    When ever I set the view as Large, they are automatically changed to "List" setting after I close the folder or system shutdown. Although sometimes they do not change, but the other times I have to change the settings back to "Large"
    again and again.
    Please help me find a solution.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The icon displays correctly as I want in my PC, I suggest you rebuild the icon cache in your system, then test the issue again.
    this IconCache.db file is located at: (you need to show hidden files)
    C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\IconCache.db
    delete the files, reboot.
    Or rebuild in this way, kill the Explorer.exe with Taskmgr then run those commands:
    cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    attrib –h IconCache.db
    del IconCache.db
    start explorer

  • The mouse pointer seems to change randomly from the usual pointer to the I-beam pointer, finger pointer, column resize pointer, arrow up pointer, etc. without any reference to function.

    I actually don't care other than the fact that it isn't the way it should operate and everything else seems to behave. However, the I-beam pointer is hard to see and can disappear. It seems to happen mostly in Safari and then carry over to other applications. Anyone else see this happen?

    The program you gave me was great, so simple, yet so effective....yet I still have a problem.  The problem is that my interface has a giant TAB inside with lots controls.  So I need it to be an arrow when it is in the tab but not on the other controls.   I tried manipulating you program and used an if condition inside the event case that if the control reference of the event case is the same as the control reference of the tab then remain an arrow.  That works for other controls outside the tab and and the tab itself but it doesn't work with controls inside the tab...... I have attached your vi, just changed a little to see what i am saying.  I am pretty sure there must be a way around it so i am trying it out now, but if you know something already that might help, that'll be great

  • Change Mouse Pointer Look

    Hi,
    I have a show/hide layers behavior setup on an image - when
    the image is clicked. It works just fine. However, when you hover
    the mouse over the image, the mouse pointer doesn't change to the
    hand, like it would with a link. Is there any way to get the mouse
    pointer to change to the hand when it is hovering over the image?
    Thanks,
    Lynn

    Open the page in DW. Select the image and look at the
    behaviors panel.
    Change the Event from onClick to <A> onClick, using the
    drop-down list of
    events in the behaviors panel.

  • Flickering mouse pointer on KDE

    I'm running the latest KDE4 from Arch repo, fglrx, three monitor setup. Had been previously running Gnome, but uninstalled that and switched to KDE4. Started getting a flickering mouse pointer with KDE, which is really annoying. Sometimes it looks like a block is following the pointer around behind it. If it weren't for this flickering pointer, I'd be pretty dang happy right now.
    Any ideas how to fix this while still being able to use fglrx? I need it for my EyeFinity setup.

    Same problem here flickering on/off mouse pointer with a vbox install. Tried turning off all desktop effects. Mouse pointer "style" also changes, depending on where it's at. Must be normal behavior based on the no reply.....
    No "show desktop" function located where I want it in the panel was the last straw deal breaker for me. Tried KDE back in the 3.x versions, at first stable 4.x, and now again.
    It's obviously just not for me....  Wasn't going to switch from XFCE , just investigating options should XFCE ever loose direction and end up the train wreck as Gnome3/shell has become.

    Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
    Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
    The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.

  • When mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker

    I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop (P500-ST5807).
    When the mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker. The problem seemed to start after I clicked "hide pointer while typing". I tried unchecking "hide pointer while typing" but this did not correct the problem. I have also tried adjusting the touchpad settings to less sensitive -- this did not help either. I have searched the internet and all types of "cursor flicker" seems to be a common problem.
    Would anyone have a simple solution?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
