Pointer Scheme
When I click to apply any new pointer scheme nothing changes the cursors
stays the same. The PC is connected to a network but that shouldn't matter I guess. Also the snap to and adjusted speed settings only apply till I shutdown the PC? |

Pointer Scheme
Are you an administrator on your network? If not, your administrator may
have disabled your ability to make these changes. You are allowed to make temporary changes of some sorts but the info is not written to the registry so even these will not persist. Also, do you have a PS2 mouse, a cordless mouse, or a USB mouse? If you have either of the latter and it came with software, this software may be controlling your mouse. I had the same problem with a cordless mouse I bought. I ran the installation CD and from then on I had to make changes through its interface. I have since then uninstalled the software that came with the mouse and can now configure it with Windows interface. -- The only search engine you will ever need.

Pointer Scheme
Before I log in as an administrator the mouse pointer appears as the settings
are set for. Once I log in though the mouse resets to defualt scheme. My user account says that I am administrator. I noticed to my screen saver is not running on the settings that it shows saved.

Pointer Scheme
If you have a notebook with an extra mouse attached, make sure your mousepad
is working correctly. Unplug your mouse if necessary. If you have a desktop and only have the one mouse type, you will need to go into 'Accessibility Options' and turn on 'Mouse Keys'. Now open 'Performance and Maintenance' and click on 'System'. Click on the 'Hardware' tab. 'Now click Device Manager'. Go first into 'Human Interface Devices' (HID). Expand the category and click on the first one if there is more than one. Highlight and click on properties icon. The location line will tell you if it is your mouse. If more than one is listed, click on next one and do same thing. If both claim to be mice, delete one. If you only have one listed as mouse, leave it be. Go down the list to 'Mice and other pointing devices'. Expand this category also. In the case above for notebook, you may have 2 mice listed, HID and PS/2. If you have both, delete the HID. If you only have 1, delete it. You will use your 'Mouse Keys' in its place when you reboot. Close 'Device Manager' and shut down your computer. (A cold boot always works best.) Plug your mouse back in if necessary and restart your computer. When the mouse is found, let Windows continue to install. If your mouse is not found, use your mouse keys or mouse pad to reopen 'Device Manager'. See if you have correct listing according to the above. If this doesn't work, then I can't help you. It is beyond me. -- The only search engine you will ever need. Take it for a spin...bookmark the free version. http://searchit.sitesell.com/Constance5.html "Snake" wrote in message ...
