No mouse cursor during Windows 8.1 OSD

Hi,
I have a problem that is bugging me. Not really a biggie but a frustrating one.
When deploying Windows 8.1 using a MDT 2013 TS from CM12R2 the mouse cursor gets disabled when the OS reboots into minisetup/windows.
As long as the TS is in WinPE all is fine, but once rebooted the cursor goes away and comes back only when the TS completes.
The mouse is enabled as I can fool around with it and find where it is by clicking like a madman until a window gets highlighted.
Deploying different DELL workstations/laptops, all with the same symptom.
BR /T

To my knowledge this is simply because of the Z-ordering of the windows during Windows setup.
The question though is why does it matter? You shouldn't be doing anything interactive a this point in the TS.

  • Maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1

    What is the maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1?
    I load cursor from 1000x1000 .png file using GDI+:
    Bitmap *image = Bitmap::FromStream(pStream);
    UINT w = image->GetWidth(), h = image->GetHeight();
    HBITMAP bmpMask;
    HBITMAP bmpColor;
    image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpMask);
    image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpColor);
    ICONINFO iconInfo;
    iconInfo.fIcon = FALSE;
    iconInfo.xHotspot = 0;
    iconInfo.yHotspot = 0;
    iconInfo.hbmMask = bmpMask;
    iconInfo.hbmColor = bmpColor;
    hCursor = ::CreateIconIndirect(&iconInfo);
    If it will be necessary, ask me and I'll provide full source code of application.
    In Windows 7 all is OK. Cursor dimentions 1000x1000.
    But there is strange thing - it scales on Windows 8.1 to 32x32 size. Enabling compatibility modes doesn't help. Is it OS limitation?
    Thanks in advance for response.

    probably. 1000x1000 is a large cursor size!

  • How to change mouse cursor during drag and drop

    Hi Guys,
    Iam performing a Drag and drop from Table1(on top of the figure) to Table2(down in the figure).
    see attached figure
    http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/e80060d9d3.jpg
    Have implemented the Drag and drop functionality using "Transferable" and "TransferHandler"using the java tutorial
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo
    Now My problem is that ,I want to make the 1st column in Table2(ie: Column2-0) not to accept any drops so that the cursor appears like a "No-Drop" cursor but with selection on the column cell during a drop action.
    Also when I move my cursor between "column2-0" and "column2-1",want to to have the "No-Drop" and "Drop" cursor to appear depending on the column.
    How can I achieve it using the TransferHandle class.Dont want to go the AWT way of implementing all the source and target listeners on my own.
    Have overridded the "CanImort" as follows:
    public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
         JTable table = (JTable)c;      
    Point p = table.getMousePosition();
    /* if(p==null)
         return false;
    int selColIndex = table.columnAtPoint(p);
    if(selColIndex==0)
         return false;*/
    If I execute the above commented code,The "No-Drop" Icon appears in "column2-0",but no cell selection.Also If I move to "column2-1",which is the 1st column,Still get the "No-Drop" Icon there,also with no cell selection.
    for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
    if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))) {
    return true;
    return false;
    Thanks in advance.....

    If you found the selection column based on the mouse pointer, then based on the column, you can set the cursor pointer as any one as below :
    setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

  • Stuttering Mouse Cursor During Network Usage

    I just recently purchased an Intel Mac Mini, and have noticed an issue with my Apple Bluetooth Mouse. Whenever there is any network activity, the responsiveness is horrible, and the cursor keeps skipping and stuttering across the screen when I try to move the mouse.
    I was previously using this mouse and keyboard on a Blue G3 with the D-Link USB adaptor, and never experiences any of these problems, so I know it is not the mouse or keyboard.

    Hi, Byron and Al —
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you haven't already, you may be interested in reading through joelmcafee's Bluetooth: Not Available/intel macbook pro thread — though he hasn't posted a resolution yet.
    A few questions that may engender ideas:
    (a) Have you contacted AppleCare, either by phone — or, for Al, using the "Chat with a support agent" link on the iMac (Core Duo) support webpage? They may be able to help.
    If the problem isn't solved during the conversation, you'll be given a case number for use at an Apple-Authorized Service Provider (AASP) — limited to authorized hardware problems) or for future reference. If the problem persists, your subsequent call(s) may be forwarded to higher-level support folks ("product specialists"). AppleCare Tech. Support is also one means that helps Apple to recognize widespread problems and focus their engineers on finding solutions — and they certainly need to know if the Bluetooth implementation in Intel-based Macs is awry in some way.
    (b) Does "any network activity" reflect WiFi, a router, Bluetooth internet connection, or...? By "any" — I assume you mean any at all?
    (c) Is the "activity" reflected in any of your system.log, console.log, ipfw.log, netinfo.log, etc. entries? Is there a ~resulting message about Bluetooth's "handshake," etc.?
    (d) Are Bluetooth File Transfer / File Exchange enabled? Are any Bluetooth ports open?
    (e) Have you done a careful review of potential 2.4 GHz RF interference? What other Bluetooth-enabled devices do you use?
    (f) Does manipulating the mouse tracking/scrolling speed settings in System Preferences »» Keyboard & Mouse »» Mouse help at all?
    Fyi, I've been experimenting with a 3rd-party mouse driver that's Bluetooth-compatible, named SteerMouse. So far, it seems to have excellent and stable mouse acceleration & speed controls... But that's probably tangential, since your description of the symptoms sounds related to signal, or connection, or — etc...
    That's all for now. Please post back to discuss further — perhaps we can come up with something.
    Warm regards,

  • Controlling Mouse Cursor in Windows

    In J2SE, i found java.awt.Robot that enable in handling mouse event and action. Now i want to handle the cursor using Java handheld. But i stuck here, that i cant found the class in J2ME. Are there anyway do this thing?
    Please help..:(

    Hi,
    You can use bluetooth connection to send command to pc where ur J2SE program will listen to the command and control the mouse accordingly.
    For example if u want to move ur cursor 50 pixels left, you can send command from ur mobile L50 which ur java program will receive and use java.awt.Robot to move the cursor.

  • Hp Pavilion 23 Blank Screen With Mouse Cursor After Hp Logo (Not Windows Logo)

    Hello my computer wont start up all i get is a black screen but i have a mouse cursor. after a little bit the computer will restart and do a automatic repair but nothing happens it just keeps on rebooting. i tired to do a bio update but it seems to not be working. there is no option in the bios to update or even in UEFI. i also did a harddrive test and got a Short DST Check fail (FAILURE ID: 909HVX-0007K0-WPU2XF-60WH03) but i still can get access to the harddrive using a Linux LiveUSB and all files are there. (Product Number Is : H5P60AAR#ABA)

    It is possible to receive a false DST check but not common.
    It doesn't mean your hard has failed but that it is in imminent danger of failing.
    You can try again but this time using the Extended DST test.
    But before doing anything I suggest you back up all your important data using that live Linux boot disk just in case.
    Every hard disk manufacturer has their own diagnostic boot cd/usb. Google it.
    You should create one and run it for your brand hard drive.
    You should be able to determine which brand you have from the BIOS/UEFI hardware tab.
    While your'e in there double check that your boot priority is set to hard drive first.
    Your other issue seems to be the dreaded 'Automatic Repair Loop' which could be caused by your possibly failing hard dirve. I would fully diagnose the hard drive first.
    Here's a link with several suggested fixes. Some of them require a Windows 8 boot disk, other do not.

  • Windows 8.1 Charms not Showing when moving mouse cursor into corners (Hot Corners)

    I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 and recently my charms bars no longer display if I move the mouse cursor into the corners of the screen. However, if I press the shortcuts e.g. Win-C the bars do show.
    I've check under PC Settings > PC and devices > Corners and Edges and also Taskbar > properties > Navigation and in both places both of the options under 'Corner Navigation' are enabled.

    Hi,
    Please re-register the Windows immersive control panel to check the result:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml
    Or you can set a registry to enable charm hint:
    Open registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\
    Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key EdgeUI.
    Now select newly created key "EdgeUI" and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD DisableCharmsHint and set its value to 0.
    If all methods cannot work, try to use dism command to perform an online fix:

  • Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

    Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to  a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.

    the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen. 

    Hi,

  • PC h8-1330a with NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 after windows log in black window with only mouse cursor

    Hi
    PC is an h8-1330a, and the video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 with driver version 9.18.13.270 dated 29/08/13. connected to a samsung TV via HDMI cable. It is running windows 8.1 OS.
    I have installed 1 additiona TV tuner card but otherwise the system is standard HP configuration as it was shipped.
    I suspect I have had an automatic windows update mess with the pc as I turned it on and after reaching the windows log in screen and logging in, pc appears to boot into windows and I only see a black screen with the mouse cursor. I can ctrl+alt+del and see task manager but no other windows will display. I tried to switch users and log in with a different account and get the same issue.
    I am struggling to enter safe mode or any other mode on boot up to see if i can roll back the video driver.
    i have tried hitting esc then f11 to do a restore to no avail.
    I cannot seem to enter safe mode on boot up via shift+f11 or f11.
    my Dad has the same PC and is not seeing this issue.
    wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can try?
    hoping to try a software fix before trying different video cards/monitors to isolate the issue.
    cheers,
    andrew
    This question was solved.

    Thanks,
    Shift + Restart from the log in screen finally got me into safe mode where i was able to perform a system restore

  • No mouse cursor on one monitor - Windows 7 Boot Camp

    Hello,
    I installed Windows 7, and ran the boot camp installer; however, since then, my mouse cursor does not appear on one of my two monitors. I can still click on things (if I can figure out where my invisible mouse is), but the arrow itself is just gone. This is only the case within Windows; mouse works fine on the Mac end.
    Hardware in question:
    Computer - Mac Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card
    Monitor with issue - Hannspree widescreen monitor connected via HDMI cable + HDMI to mini DV adaptor
    Other monitor - hp fullscreen monitor, connected via VGA
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with my NVIDIA drivers on windows, because the mouse shenanigans seemed to start after this step in the Bootcamp installation process.
    Any ideas for how to fix this?
    Thanks very much.

  • Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

    Hello All
    Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
    The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
    I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
    Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
    Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
    name?
    thanks
    Pawel

    Hi Pawel,
    I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

  • Disabling a mouse cursor in LV window using LV 6.1

    Hi, I need to Disable/Enable the mouse cursor programatically in LV Window using LV 6.1
    {Mouse cursor can be visible,but should not be activated when it is disabled).Is there any DLL's available?
    Regards
    Murali

    You can use the EnableWindow function from user32.dll to disable all input in your front panel window. Use the FindWindow function to find the handle. I'm posting an example of this.
    There's also the BlockInput function in there, for comparison, but you probably won't want to use that one because it blocks ALL input.
    Try to take over the world!

  • GNOME3: Ugly mouse cursors

    Hi everyone!
    I have a small issue with my Gnome3 desktop: It uses the default (ugly) X mouse cursors.
    Am I missing some package or setting?
    Edit: It's even more weird because it may suddenly change to the correct cursors during a session until i logout.
    Last edited by init0 (2011-04-12 17:33:46)

    I have found a lot of customisation options which normally have a corresponding ~/.xxx folder for user specific config (eg /usr/share/themes, /usr/share/icons etc.) are not currently working in Gnome 3 by default. I am sure it is the $XDG_DATA_DIRS (or similar) environment variables not being set to look in /home first (I am sure this will be corrected as Gnome 3 matures and the devs add user config options).
    I have found my cursors work correcty (in all but firefox) (using custom Silver-3D cursors). One thing that may help (it has helped solve my "some windows use my cursors and some don't" issue)
    in /usr/share/icons create a folder called default. In that folder, create a file called index.theme and populate as follows:
    [Icon Theme]
    Inherits=xxxxxxx
    Where xxxxxx is the name of your theme of choice. The added bonus of doing this is that GDM will use your selected cursor theme as well.
    GDM is actually what I have been working on theming today. I have customised the background, cursors, icons, sound theme (I'll admit it, I like a system-ready sound when GDM comes up) and GTK3 themes for it. Now I just have to translate that to my shell.
    Cheers.
