Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here. You can see the thread relating to this post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
The problem: The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used. As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem. Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used. The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%). <o:p></o:p>
If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional. Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it. Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
happening on my system. http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc. I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side. All are connected through 1 Nvidia
GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
thanks<o:p></o:p>

Hi Jon,
I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply.
In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists.
Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

DPI Scaling on Multi-Monitor (Windows 8, 8.1)

Hi, I have two monitors, one internal and one external, configuration goes as follows:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012) Native display/monitor
2880x1800px
15.4"
221 PPI/DPI
Detected by Windows as: "Generic PnP Monitor"
LG D2343P External Monitor
1920x1080px
23"
96 PPI/DPI
Detected by Windows as: "LG 2343(Digital)"
I want to make both displays to work together with different "DPI Scaling" on Windows 8.1 Pro Preview so GUI elements render correctly scaled between them just at it happens on Apple OS X, I have read an excellent article which shows how to change and customize this settings but settings apply over all displays and there isn't a way to make windows know the DPI/PPI of the Retina monitor.
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/28310-dpi-scaling-size-change-displays-wind ows-8-1-a.html
How can I achive this?

Hello. I have the same setup - Windows 8.1 on Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt display.
What I've noticed is that in the device manager both the Thunderbolt display and the Macbook screen show up as "Generic PnP Monitor," and I am wondering if these generic device drivers are not passing the correct resolution/screen size informations to the OS.
Maybe Apple can create customized drivers for each one of their monitors instead of using the generic driver?

Scaling presentations for projectors with different resolutions.

Dear All:
While in the process of creating a few presentations it occurred to me that I will be displaying it using different projectors in different venues. My current presentations have slide with a native resolution of 1400x1050 created for a Canon HD projector. I will soon be presenting with a newer Canon 1920x1200 projector but would like to retain the ability to project using lower resolution projectors so I don't have to depend on a new technology that most venues still don't offer.
Question: What should I do to ensure that my presentations are "universal" and can be displayed anywhere ? In case I create a presentation for the highest resolution (1920x1200) will lower resolution displays be able to scale it down and display it ? In this case will the quality be good, acceptable of just plain bad ? Are there any alternatives to this dilemma ?
Thank you in advance,
Joseph

Absenting any post-keynote software or hardware resizing, there no way I know to make them universal as such. 1920x1200 will output that image size. 1400x1050 that size. There's a few ways to look at it and go about it. Perhaps read following thread then ask some more if still not clear.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9204982&#9204982
As for hardware resizing in the projector or video hardware with so much gear of different makes out there who can predict how it will end up. Other's here would have some more experience with trying that out though.

Setting the position of the mouse pointer

Hi,
I want to explicitly set the mouse pointer to an definded location, e.g. when a window is opened.
Is there a method I can invoke or a work around to set the mouse pointer to, say, posx = 100 and posy = 150?
Are there any other manipulating methods such as pressing the mouse button?
thanx,
SirRuberth

yes.
You can do all that and much more with the java.awt.Robot class
(new in java 1.3)
void mouseMove(int x, int y)
Moves mouse pointer to given screen coordinates.
void mousePress(int buttons)
Presses one or more mouse buttons.
void mouseRelease(int buttons)
Releases one or more mouse buttons.

Pinkish glow around mouse pointer on external screen.

Since the last update (10.9.1) my mid-2012 macbook air started showing a very peculiar behaviour.
Only when connected to an external monitor and waking up from sleep, the mouse pointer on the external monitor comes with a pinkish glow. Very annoying.
Details:
- it only appears within the external monitor, if the pointer is moved into the macbook screen the defect disappear.
- to make it go away, it is enough to unplug and re-plug the external monitor
- it seems that the shadow and the aliasing around the mouse pointer receives the wrong hue on the ext monitor, but mine is only a guess.
- connection thunderbolt (original apple adapter to dvi)
- monitor iiyama prolite B2409HDS
- it started with the update to 10.9.1. NEVER had a problem before that (since 10.8)
any thoughts? Is there anybody out there with the same issue?

Same Issue here. See picture below:
Mac details:
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro
Software OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
HDMI Cable connected to LG LCD TV
I'm not sure but it could be that I have started experiencing this glow since a Mavericks update ( I didn't have this issue the first months after upgrading to Mavericks).....
Did anyone already submit a bug report over here : https://bugreport.apple.com ????

Focus on mouse pointer on click- WPF

hi,
I want to focus the position of the mouse pointer when the user clicks.
Exactly like the focus we get on clicking the ctrl key to locate mouse pointer after enabling it here.
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks,

Hi TheShaleen,
>>I want to focus the position of the mouse pointer when the user clicks
It's hard to accomplish your requirement, I've tried to find API to enable this setting, but as far as I know, there is no official API to enable this programmatically.
If you just want to make this work on some control, like Canvas, you could get the coordinate of Mouse Pointer and draw shap on this Canvas, please refer to this article:

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.

Mouse pointer has gone mad on NB100

Started a download from the iTunes store, came back 30 minutes later to find my mouse pointer jumping erratically in a vertical direction. Had to disable the synaptics pointing device driver and plug in a USB mouse. After rebooting and restarting the mouse driver it appeared to work mostly correctly again until today where it's doing the same thing.
Has anybody else experienced this? I'm coming to the conclusion that the touchpad and keyboard on this device are just very poor indeed.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I uninstalled the Synaptic driver and installed the Microsoft one. Still does it, although it is intermittent. When it happens, if I tap the touchpad in the right place it stops. So, it does look like there is something wrong with my touchpad.
Once I back my HD up I am going to revert back to the original factory install. If it still does it then - and I'm fairly sure it will - I guess it's off to Toshiba to get repaired.
I wouldn't mind so much had it not been for the fact that the netbook has had very little use indeed - maybe as little as 100 hours in total as I tend to only use it when on holiday / visiting the parents.

Mouse pointer goes for itself

My mouse pointer will jump quickly to the corners of the display while working with it. I've made different adjustments to the mouse tracking speed to no evail. Does anyone have the answer? It is quite annoying when in the middle of a graphics project.

Hello,
While the problem is more related to the perception of the optics in the mouse, than it is the mouse pad; a good mouse pad will make a difference.
I have been using Optical mice for a couple of years now. And, the problem you point out has been consistent in all of them (various brands and models).
Apple's optical mice are very sensitive about changes in the texture of the surface they are on. Patterns need to be very consistent, and very regular.
The problem has to do with how sensitive your optical mouse is to changes in the surface that you are moving over. You will have your best results on Mouse Pads designed for optical mice.
I finally found a mouse pad that minimized the problem for me.
I was in Office Depot in the Seattle, Washington area, and noticed these excellent pads.
I am very particular about the Pads. I will not use a cloth pad, or anything with any thickness to it at all.
I don't like cloth pads because they get disgusting and nasty. Furthermore, I don't like pads that are thicker than a single sheet of fine paper. I find thick pads uncomfortable.
So, I had been specifically looking for a good mouse pad that was not only suitable for optical mice, but also extremely thin. I used to have a thin one, but it wasn't good for optical setups.
So, with all the above in mind, I set out looking for a new mouse pad for my optical mice.
I looked around my local area, and couldn't find anything suitable for optical mice that was also extremely thin.
So, while in Washington, I stopped by every store we passed that might have something suitable. Finally, Office Depot had it.
They are round mouse pads, as thin (or thinner) than a sheet of paper), and have a pattern that optical mice like.
They are called "WOW!PAD"
The company that makes them is at:
http://www.microthin.com
My pad is "Dots 007" if you look at the pictures on the page at:
http://www.microthin.com/prod_wowpaddesigns.htm
You can read more about the pads by going to the following page, and selecting the different options in the selection box:
http://www.microthin.com/prod_wowpad.htm
I've found that it almost completely eliminated the pointer problems on my Microsoft Mouse, and 100% eliminated the problems on both my Apple Pro mouse and Mighty Mouse.
My Apple mice don't jump around at all now. So, give that a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

Tap clicking touchpad causes mouse pointer to move (ALPS)

Usually when tap clicking on a touchpad, any pointer movements are suppressed as a tap is detected. This does not happen on my Arch machine. Whenever I tap click, the mouse pointer jumps several pixels in some direction.
How can I stop this?
(Arch is fully updated and since kernel 3.3 my touchpad is detected as "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad".)

After upgrade I have a black display showing only the mouse pointer

I just installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview on my Lenovo W540 laptop. The installation appeared to to go just fine and I did not see anything that should cause any issues. Now that it is complete, my display is black and I see the mouse
pointer on the screen. I can move the mouse just fine, but nothing else will display when moving the mouse. If I hit <ctrl><alt><del> then our domain banner page will flash on the display but I can't hit the OK button to get to
my login prompt. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do to resolve this issue? Any suggestions out there?

Square traces of mouse pointer - Is this normal?

The macbook pro 13'' 2010 2.4ghz 4gb ram i use at work, when on the applications folder, leaves square traces of the mouse pointer. Is this normal? Its only visible with a bit of zoom (not the full 100% zoom, it starts being visible with just a tad). Is this normal? It only leaves square traces on that applications window. It doesnt leave them on the desktop etc... Is this normal at all???
Here is the video of it. Please, try to look further from the bad youtube conversion. It is still visible if you look carefully.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asv3qB3xqZQ
Thanks.

Check SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DESKTOP & SCREENSAVER>SCREENSAVER>HOTCORNERS and see how they are set up.
It is probably normal based on you settings.
Ciao.

My OWN mouse pointer movie issue

Hi ive made a mouse pointer movie in flash. When i rollover the butones that i have on my movie works.
When i enter in the movie it start to drag and it work perfectly.
The only problems that i have is that when the people that they take out the mouse off my stage of movie i want that
mouse pointer to not stay there on the border up down right and even left.
When is out with the real pointer to desseaper complete ,because is dosent look very nice staying there nearly to the borders of my flash movie.
i have a movie with 120width and 100height.
so when its louding the movie work apper my mouse that i made,now i want to put some code in to dessepear compleatly when i get out of the movie with the pointer on the all borders!...

Mine works similarly, but that exampole you link to appears to use location detection to start a tween that makes the object gradually disappear. I say this because the distance from the edge where it stops and fades differs every time. It most likely is set to occur at some distance less than the actual width and height of the stage since it does not happen at the edge, always somewhere before it.
So you could use a conditional to test if you want to change the alpha...
Mouse.hide();
pointer_mc.startDrag(true);
this.onMouseMove = function(){
      if(_xmouse < 5 || _ymouse < 5 || _xmouse > Stage.width-5 || _ymouse > Stage.height-5){
            pointer_mc._alpha = 0;
      } else {
            pointer_mc._alpha = 100;

Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning

Hi guys.
I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
This is the report error.
Cheers,
Marc

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select

Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved.
