reloading mouse cursors

[Lillie]

I have a computer that appears to have corrupted mouse cursors. Does anyone
know where the mouse cursors file is and an easy way to reload it.

Thanks,
Lillie

Contol Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab

Select the cursors you want for each of the different options by pressing
browse (to C:\windows\cursors) or select a scheme from the combo box at the
top.

I replaced C:\windows\cursors, but the line is still showing up. Any other
ideas?

Could be a graphics card/driver problem...

If you're seeing a line in all your cursors, that's the most likely =
explanation.

When the cursor scheme is "(none)", the cursors used are stored as =
resources in user32.dll. You might try using System File Checker to see =
if that file is OK.

It would help matters, if you could explain a bit more fully what you mean
by "the line".
ie whether all the cursor images are corrupted with a line, or whether a
line follows the mouse pointer, or whether the cursor image periodically
changes to a line. This will help you to get a good response

Start > run > sfc /scannow

to run the system file checker, as Keith suggested
