Hardware Color Cursor Problem in Windows 8.1

I have 2 issues related to the cursor on Win8.1 with 2 display adapters.  It seems Windows 8.x problem.
Issue #1, Primary display adapter is using hardware color cursor and secondary adapter is software cursor. It will have cursor left over on the secondary screen when the cursor is moving from
secondary screen to primary screen.
Issue #2, Primary display adapter is using hardware color cursor and secondary adapter is software cursor. There will be 2 cursors on the left upper corner of the primary display screen when
dragging the cursor around the upper left corner of the primary display screen.
So the problem seems caused by 2nd display adapter doesn't support hardware color cursor then will create these two problems.  
If I switched to software cursor in the Control panel, then there will not have these problems. Also if both use hardware cursor, then there is no problem.  
Can anyone help to confirm if this is the Windows 8.x bug or not?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Francis

Hi Francis Fung,
When checking in Mouse Properties, I couldn't find any settings that would allow me to change to software cursor under any tabs like Buttons, Pointers, Pointer Options, Wheel and Hardware(reference)
Some specific mouse would have its own functions, make sure that we follow the instructions to configure the settings, for the two adapter issue, please also consider seek help at the manufacturer side and see if any further help would be offerred there.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards

  • Textbox Cursor Problem in Windows 7 - IE11

    I have IE11 / Windows 7. I've a problem with the cursor in IE11 because the text cursor appears only in double click. In an html text box, suppose I need to enter a word. For that I've clicked the mouse on the text box. But cursor not appears in single click.
    Cursor only displayed in double click.
    Anybody knows what is the problem. This problem only in windows 7 - IE11.
    Thanks for your help,
    Arun Chandran

    Hi,
    Please include with your questions a link to the website (or an example) with which you are having issues with. That way we can visit the site and investigate the issue.
    Normally the cursor appears in a textbox when it receives focus....
    this has occurred on every site I have seen... web site programmers can however alter that behavior.
    or
    Your settings for mouse clicks has been changed...
    Start>Control panel>Mouse
    or
    Your mouse driver is faulty/out of date and requires an update.
    Start>Control Panel>Action Center or run a Windows Update.
    Post consumer questions about IE to http://answers.microsoft.com (Help>Online Support menu from IE)... Include with your questions links to any website that you are having issues with.
    Thx.

  • Cursor problem in windows 7

    I have installed windows 7. My cursor often goes out of the screen. for eg: if I am seeing some pictures, before I am moving to another pic the cursor automatically goes away from the window. Again, after I click into the window it  appears. it is
    really difficult for me while doing some programming . Somebody please help me in this case 

    Hi,
    What software do you use to view the pictures? Windows Photo Viewer?
    Also, please check if there is 3rd software running in the backgroud, such as
    AutoHideMouseCursor, etc.
    I recommend you to scan your computer with Malicious Software Removal Tool.

  • Windows xp pro stalls - blank screen- hardware or software problem?

    Hi Guys,
    My system is about one month old and has been awesome in performance and graphics.
    Suddenly it (windows xp pro) stalls after flashing the windows loading screen and it goes blank. Looks like a software problem?
    I am posting on this forum because when I check cmos, no hard drives are registered.
    I can't get into safe mode, can't get past the administrator/user screen because no mouse operates here and can't select icons with the keyboard.(No admin passwords were set up anyway)
    Booting from CD, repair console doesn't work because it can't find any hard drive.
    Reluctant to do a complete reinstall because of precious stuff on the hard drive.
    Using f8, "last known good..." just gives the same blank screen.
    Using floppy boot, no other drives are recognized.
    If my root directory has been wiped out by a virus or something, how come it gets past post and starts to load windows? If it's merely the graphics driver or similar not loading, how come the cmos shows no hard drive?
    Is this a hardware or software problem? Any help much appreciated.

    THE ANSWER !!
    Hi Guys,
    I finally got to talk to the guy who set up this system and he said that it is normal for RAID drives not to show on BIOS/CMOS. 'Think of it like a vrtual drive' he said. When the black and white initialization screen shows something like: 'Nividia Stripe-healthy'...then THAT is the hard-drive.
    He said that as long as Windows was getting to the loading screen, that means that the computer itself was functioning okay, so don't worry about BIOS, the problem is a file corruption in windows, or virus etc.
    Also he said that when trying to use recovery console or reinstall windows, because the system can only read the RAID drives through a SCSI interface, you have to load the Nvidia SCSI drivers from floppy by pressing f6 when asked to at the bottom of the pale blue screen (from Windows cd boot), before trying to do anything with windows (or windows will just tell you it can't read the drives, as it did before with me.)
    So in the end, I reinstalled windows by that method and everyting seems fine so far. YAY!
    Thanks you people for being kind enough to help someone out. I really appreciate it.

  • Lenovo E540 video problems on Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I've just recently bought a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E540 with the following configuration:
    - i7-4702MQ(2.2GHz)
    - 4GB RAM
    - 500GB 7200rpm HD
    - 15.6in 1920x1080 LCD
    - 2GB NVIDIA N14P-GV2
    - CDRW/DVDRW
    - Intel 802.11bgn wireless
    - 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav
    - Secure Chip
    - Fingerprint reader
    - Camera
    - 6c Li-Ion
    - Dos license
    The first thing i did was to install Windows 8.1, as it seems that it's the preffered OS for this laptop.
    After this, i've installed all the drivers from the Lenovo Support site and all the programs that i normally use.
    This is when everything went wrong.
    In Photoshop CS6 i cannot zoom in and out, the image always stays the same. Only if i minimize and maximize Photoshop does the program refresh the image at the selected zoom level.
    In Sketchup the same problem, if i try to rotate or pan the image, nothing happens. After minimize/maximize, the image is refreshed.
    After a small research, i've discovered that i can change the prefferd video adapter from the Nvidia Control Panel.
    Everything was set to Intel HD4600 so i changed all the mentioned programs to GeForce 740M.
    This didn't solve the problem, but changed it. In Photoshop for example, this time the canvas doesn't appear at all.
    So, a little research later and i found out that by disabling the hardware acceleration in each program, they started working.
    This works on either of the video adapters, it doesn't matter which one is selected in the Nvidia Control Panel.
    So i thought that i had it figured out, even though a new laptop isn't supposed to work like this, bypassing hardware acceleration in almot all programs
    But the problem appeared in Microsoft Office:
    In Microsoft Word, i can't change the text color. 
    In Microsoft Powerpoint, i can't change the background color.
    Even if i disable the hardware acceleration, the problem is still there.
    Finally i decides that maybe the operating system has an incompatibility with the drivers, so i formatted all and installed an older Windows 7 that i had.
    Everything installed from scratch, drivers and programs.
    This time all the programs worked (Photoshop CS5, Sketchup 8, Word and Powerpoint 2010) from the start, without disabling the hardware acceleration.
    But the next day, when i wanted to use Powerpoint, the problem came back. The background color doesn't change, and in Word i can't change text color. Even if i disable the hardware acceleration.
    So i'm back at the beginning.
    I've honestly thought of returning the laptop, as it's the first one with which i've had all these endless problems.
    Unfortunately, the store's 30-days back guarantee have passed, almost all of them trying to make it work as it should.
    If anyone has any idea about this or has confronted any of these problems, please tell, i just don't know what else to do, the laptop is currently useless.
    Thank you for yout patience to read all this.

    I am also having this problem. Cannot click either button. Really hope someone can shed some light here.

  • Graphic problem in Windows with Boot Camp?

    I only just noticed this today when I was editing some pictures in Photoshop using Windows (Boot Camp). My version is Windows 8 64-bit and the Photoshop is CS 6 but I suspect the same thing would happen even if I were using Windows 7.
    Whenever I view an image in Firefox, Chrome, Windows Picture Viewer or any other program besides Photoshop, the image is always displayed as it is and appears as crisp and sharp as it should. For example, if I load a picture that's 600x600 pixels outside of Photoshop, it would look exactly like it is - at 600x600.
    But once I open it in Photoshop, and if it happens to be a very big picture (which it is for me, most of the time), the picture would look resized (i.e. smaller), but the Photoshop navigator would still say it's displayed at 100% magnification. So a 2000x2000 picture would basically look half its real size but still be at a zoom setting of 100% according to Photoshop.
    That in itself isn't the problem, but trying to edit/crop the image is. If I were to select a part of the picture and resize it to, say, 100x100 pixels, the final image would be a bit blurry, even if I save it at "most high" quality. That obviously makes my image "un-usable" because the quality is so terrible. This doesn't happen at all on a computer without retina display but on mine it makes the task of editing images in Photoshop frustrating and pointless.
    I really think it's an issue with retina display's native resolution not being supported in any version of Windows, so I'm hoping anyone who uses a Macbook Pro RD, Windows AND Photoshop could help me get around this problem.

    The Windows 8 installer does not contain the correct graphics driver for your computer. You'll need to attach the USB media that contains the Boot Camp drivers during installation to address this issue. See this article for more information.

    Also, Intel 4000 graphic driver, switching between Intel HD and Nvidia has been a problem.
    From my (now old) notes:
    I had problems with windows 7 after the installation using boot camp. The GT 650M was not showing up as the graphics adapter. I fixed the problem by inserting my windows support software CD a second time. I did not let it use auto run.  I went into the Windows 7 directory and then into the Nvidia directory and ran setup.exe. This installed the Nvidia drivers for me. If this works correctly, you will have an Nvidia control panel available to you. I set the resolution to 2880x1800. I also set windows to 200% magnification.
    I think what happens is that after you install windows, and then run the windows support CD, the main boot camp setup script seems to stop on the nvidia driver install--everything else installed correctly.

  • IPhone 4 stuck in recovery mode - Hardware or software problem?

    Hi
    So I just fixed my iPhone 4 screen, and it worked fine, except my vibrator didn't work. Then I opened my iPhone up again and took the vibrator out, and put it in again. Then everything worked fine... Until I updated to IOS 7 (I restored it to factory settings) . What happened was, that my iPhone turned on, and I could use it for about 2 minutes, and then it showed a white and black screen for a sec, and then it turned off. Then it turned itself on again, and after 2 minutes it turned off and so it keept on going. The suddenly it all worked.. Then things started to get really bad. At first it wouldn't charge, then it would only turn on when it was in the charger (I put a new battery in and tried a different charger and it didn't make a difference). Then it was in a boot loot, showing the apple logo over and over again, and I tried to recover it by putting it in recovery mode, and now it is stuck. It will still only turn on when in the charger, and it will only show the "plug it into iTunes" screen. I didn't have any SHSH blops (or whatever they are called). When I plug it into the computer iTunes do recognize it, and it ask me if I want to recover, and I press yes. Then it starts to unpak files, but then error code 21 pops up (I have tried this on two different computers). I have really tried many things to make it work again, but I can't finde anyone who has the exact same problem as me. I have no garranty or anything, it is an old iPhone 4, so I have to fix it myself.
    So my question is if it is a hardware, software, firmware problem or whatever it could be?
    Thanks in advance

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Setting Cursor - For a window and application wide

    Hi,
    Can somebody please help with a cursor problem ? I am not able to set the busy cursor for a frame when the application is doing some work. I have tried many methods of doing this (some of them from these forums...) but still I am not able to make this work.
    1) setting the cursor before doing the work and resetting after the
    work doesnt work.
    2) setting the cursor for the window by calling
    Window window = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(getRootPane().getGlassPane());
    window.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    This works but the events are not blocked by the frame i.e if i
    click on any part of the window like a button or something, that
    event is fired after the work is done. So this is not good.
    3) created a glass pane for the window and blocked all the events. Then
    set the cursor for the the glass pane. This does not work either
    since the event thread is doing the work. So had to create another
    thread to do the work. This works but when the cursor is reset back,
    it doesnt reset. I have to move the mouse a bit to reset it. So this
    is not good either.
    4) created a work around for the cursor by creating a modal dialog box
    saying "Processing..." in the event thread and doing the work in the
    worker thread. The worker thread posts an event to dispose the
    dialog box after the work is done. This works perfectly though it is
    still not good because the cursor is not showing busy. Because of
    the modal dialog box, the user cant do anything in the application
    which is exactly what i want. Is this ok ? Can somebody provide any
    other work around for this ?
    5) Also I have another question for you guys. In the worker thread if i
    do something like updating the gui etc., it takes a lot of time
    almost 10 times more than when the work is done in a single threaded
    environment. Is this because of the communication between the worker
    thread and the event thread ? If I do only data related work not gui
    work in the worker thread, this is fine.
    I am new to Swing, so somebody please explain to me if they can.
    My environment is JDK 1.1.7, Swing 1.1 on Sun Solaris 2.5.1. Is this because I am using old versions. Is this resolved in the newer versions like 1.3 etc ?

    That is all true.  The problem is the need to give a user the ability to run a program that has secrets that should only be visible by root.  If you give the user ownership, they cab see the keys to the kingdom.
    For example, you may want to allow a user to connect to an arbitrary wireless access point.  Generally, this is a privileged operation -- you want to give them permission to do it, but don't want to give them ownership.  You may also not want them to be able to see or modify the pass phrases.

  • Color saturation problem in Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 under Linux

    Hi,
    I'm working with a guy who is producing PDFs of my work with Indesign.
    Using acrobat reader under Linux (version 7.0.1 and also 7.0.9), the colours in these PDFs always appear very saturated. This is a big problem for me because I cannot see with the reference viewer the results of PDFs to be sent to print.
    I tried the same pdf file under OS X & Windows, it appears OK with Acrobat reader. Other free pdf readers under Linux also show the right colours (but not always the transparency ;-).
    Does anybody has an idea to help me?
    @Adobe people: in case you want to test, I drop a copy of my PDF file at: http://cardot.net/files/pdfcolours.pdf (2.24 MB)
    Thanks in advance

  • LR Web Module color management problem

    I stumbled on to this discussion thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3572174#3572174
    initiated by “JimmysPhoto” because I have observed the same LR Web Module problem with images too saturated too much contrast and clipped highlights & shadows. Please note that this is not a settle difference, it’s a major change in the look of the image. I have a calibrated monitor using Spyder3 Elite. All other LR modules display the images exactly as I see in Development Module.
    I did a test by exporting an image from the Dev Module to a file using the LR “Export “ function (from RAW to JPEG using sRBG color space) to a Windows file. When I display the image with the Windows Live Photo Gallery Viewer the image looks exactly the same as in the LR Dev module. However, opening this same image with IE-9 I get the same oversaturated look I see in the Web Module.
    Because I use the LR Web Module to push photo galleries to my website host server I end up with images that do not look the way I processed them in LR – which is a serious issue for me. Was there any resolution to “JimmysPhoto” problems that I could benefit from?
    I use Win7 64bit, LR 3.X and a high quality Dell U2410 display.

    It's very strange that both IE9 and Chrome browsers go to the trouble of doing colour management, but both do it wrong - in different ways!
    To colour-manage an image for display, you have to:
    Figure out the profile of the image (often embedded in the image, or if none probably assume sRGB unless you know the image colour space by some other means)
    Figure out the profile of the monitor (Windows will tell you that, if the monitor has a profile, otherwise you can't colour manage)
    Using the two profiles, convert the image from the image colour space , via a Profile Connection Space (typically CIELAB (L*a*b*) or CIEXYZ), into the monitor's colour space.
    The hard work is 3; finding out the profiles is easy.
    IE9 does 1 and 3 but not 2.  It goes to all the trouble of colour space conversion (step 3), but doesn't bother to look up the monitor profile.  It assumes sRGB, which will be approximately right for most monitors, but never exactly right, and hopelessly wrong for wide gamut monitors.
    Chrome does 2 and 3 but not 1.  It goes to all the trouble of color space conversion, but doesn't bother to look up the image profile, assuming all images to be sRGB!
    Why do the hard bit, but make a pig's ear of the easy bit?

  • Isight problem with windows

    hi
    i have a serious problem with my isight...
    i installed win xp using the boot camp,after 1 month the isight is stopped working and i found under the device manager "DFU Loader"
    i did the SMC and PRAM,it works maybe for 2 or 3 days then the same problem happen...when i login to the mac os and start the photobooth i see the msg "there is no camera connected"
    i went to the support center and they say that the isight is not supported in windows...
    so i want to know if it is a hardware or software problem..?

    "i also tried to reinstall the drivers over and over again using the bootcamp.."
    Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer afterwards? If not, do the following:
    Boot up from your install DVD and run *"Repair Disk"* from the Utility menu. When done, go back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.
    "did anyone face this problem before??"
    Don't use Boot Camp.
    If you have tried all the solutions in the link that EZ Jim provided for you, I suggest that you cross-post over in the Boot Camp forums. It's where the BC users all hang out. Perhaps they can help you.
    "i bought just 2 monthes ago"
    Then I strongly suggest that you take advantage of Apple's 90 days of FREE phone tech support before it runs out. If you have purchased Apple Care, use it. Let them deal w/your problems. It's what you are paying them for.

  • Pavilion dv7-4060us Color Printing Problems...

    I just bought a new Pavilion dv7-4060us Notebook and am having problems printing in color.  I have a Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS Printer that I'm trying to connect to through a wireless network connection.  I can find the printer on the network and install the "Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS" driver online just fine.  But, after all that, when I try to print, it will only print in Black and White.  For some reason it just will not print in color.  I've looked through all my "printer properties" and it doesn't even show color options!  It's like my computer just doesn't even recognize that the printer can print colors.  Like maybe that printer's driver is for some reason not recognizing it as that actual printer?!
    I tried deleting the printer and the driver off my computer and installing it using the printer's original CD, but it says it's not compatible with Windows 7 OS.  But installing the driver via online and using the CD should basically be the same thing shouldn't it?  So that can't be the problem.  The "HP printer help website" doesn't really help at all because it's a Xerox printer and not an HP.  After reading through some forum posts I figured maybe it was a firewall problem, but wouldn't the firewall stop me from printing all together...not just prevent me from printing color?  
    Has anyone seen this happen before or heard of anything like this happening?  Right when I got the computer I kind of went through and deleted a few things I thought were Crapware, so the only thing I can think of right now is that maybe I accidentally deleted some kind of software program that lets me print color?!  Which doesn't really make any sense, so I don't think that's it.
    Also, I know it's not a Windows 7 OS problem or my wireless connection because my brother's computer uses Windows 7 and connects through wireless as well, but his can print color just fine.  He set his computer up like a year ago so he can't remember how he set it all up or what he did, so he's kind of useless.
    As of right now the only thing I can think of to do is try posting on this HP help forum and post on the Xerox Printer help forum and see if anyone has any advice for me.  If you have any ideas I'm up for trying anything because I pretty much NEED to be able to print from this computer!!  Any information can help out a lot so just let me know.  Thanks!

    I have exactly the same problem with my dv7-4171us, my husband has the same printer and it print fine on my Xerox but mine only prints in black and white, its very frustrating.  I called HP and after 2 hours on the phone they couldnt fix it either.
    I'm thinking of doing a full "f11" factory restore.  If anyone knows how to fix the color printing problem please let me know.

    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. Choose your language setting, and then click "Next."
    3. Click "Repair your computer."
    If you do not have the disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc0000225
    Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot
    configuration data.
     I am currently using a USB stick to install as I have no USB optical drive, I have done this many times before with this same laptop, I have also installed Crunchbang Linux (Ubuntu derived) without a problem - I have read many posts and it usually points to a problem with ACPI detection, I however see no mention of this in the BIOS.
    I have also read that I may need to update my BIOS to correct this problem, I've no idea why it would have randomly stopped but hey, that's Murphy's law. I have ordered a USB optical drive which should be here by Wednesday so I can update the BIOS, however I go back to College that very same day so I would very much like to get it working before-hand ;(
    Any suggestions / help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Can you explain how you solved the error?  I have done a few clean installations of Microsoft Windows 7 via USB flash drive and do not recall ever seeing that error.
