Help, my WinXP cursors are (mostly) missing

[Peter - spam will be exterminated]

I still have a cursor thank God, but when I tried to change the cursor a
pop-up says that almost all of them are missing or "cannot find"....what's
causing this??? Any cure? I could use the WinXP Home CD but I haven't the
faintest idea how to use it only as a repair tool.

Do you have /have you had mouse software installed in the past? I was
getting this error message after updating Intellipoint for a while. The
files were there and worked so I ignored it. After the last update, I can
once again access the Mouse control panel without getting the message.

This is very strange. I was trying to use the "3D Bronze" pointer scheme.
Part of that scheme and most of the other schemes (other than default) are
missing. I can only assume that I lost them when I used PC DocRX a while
back. I haven't tried downloading other cursor programmes. I've also
noticed that my PC is refusing to system restore to most points available in
the list. (I thought that might cure it)
