Mouse Pointer Can't Response
Jul 20, 2009
I recently had a power failure whilst working on my PC - I restarted it - but started getting problems - I have put both C and D drives through the Check Disk Utility. To all intends iand purposes the Pc appears to be workin, except:
1. The Mouse pointer has the `working in the background`i.e.the revolving circle which goes on for 5 secs then off for 1 sec and back to 5 secs etc.I have tried changing the pointer but to no avail.
2. I can not delete anything in the C/ directorory Program Files.

This does not necessarily always happen but some times the mouse pointer jumps away to the top left corner area from where I click. Is there a remedy to stop this from happening?

I have just bought a new laptop with Windows Vista Home installed. I've noticed that my mouse pointer sometimes jumps around the screen by itself whilst I am on the internet. What could be causing this problem and how do I rectify it?

I have a Gateway Desktop model GM563E with a Vista Home Premium operating system. After installing Vista update 938371 released 4/8/08, my mouse pointer disappeared (while keyboard functions still worked). Changing mouse settings and installing a new mouse did not remedy the problem. I needed to do a system restore and remove the Vista update to make the pointer work again. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have Windows Vista Home Edition on my new laptop (Dell Inspirion e1530). My pointer disapears anytime i move it over an area that allows you to type. For example, it will not work at all in Microsoft Word. It appears over the toolbars and i can click on file, edit, etc, however when i want to edit an existing document or begin a new one the pointer will not show up on the page. It has basically been a trial and error click process until I find the place i want the cursor.

Can anyone help with a missing mouse pointer? It's on a Gateway laptop (notebook) and the default finger tablet shows no mousepointer and if I plug a USB mouse in, there is still nothing. Has something become corrupted? I have a dual boot on this laptop and can boot up win 2000 successfully with the mouse pointer working perfectly so at least I know that it is not a hardware issue. Can it be fixed without doing something drastic like a re-install? I tried starting with last known good configuration

booted up my PC, typed in user name and password. Went on to Mozilla Firefox, about 10 or 15 minutes.... my laptop freezes. My mouse pointer cannot move, neither the programs. The only thing I could do, was the Windows Flip 3D (Win+Tab). My indicators (Power, Battery and Hard Drive) looked fine. So I shut down my PC.
I booted the PC, somehow... it failed. It had "Microsoft Corporation" and the loading bar, it was like that forever. I shut down my PC again and decided to go to Startup Repair and System Restore. It fixed the booting error, but my computer still freezes. This problem always goes on forever and ever. The worse place is to go is logging in as Administrator. But it does the same thing, except it also had blue screen of death. (KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR). I booted in Safe Mode, and it does the same thing. I did chkdsk /f , startup repair and system restore. I haven't thought about restoring my PC to factory settings.

My mouse does not seem to be where it is actually visible. For instance when I want to close a program window I have to move around the x to close the program but am not acutally over the button. The accuracy of the pointer is out by half an inch. When I go into the control panel and select the mouse there is not option to calibrate the mouse. how to get my mouse pointer to be more accurate

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with 4gb memory I have as my cursor 3D Bronze pointer. I went inside Control Panel/Mouse, chose Pointer Tab, Work in background and changed the icon to icon of drum beating. In the preview window, I can see the drum beating. When I press OK and exit. When I open some application, the drum icon would appear but without animation as though it is frozen. Does anyone know what might be the problem on why there is no animation?

I am having a problem with my mouse pointer. When I move the pointer/arrow over an "X" I have noticed that if I try to click on the "X" (or whatever the button may be for that matter) I have to actually move the pointer so that it is above what I want to select. The odd thing is though, that this is not always the case. Sometimes the poiner works just fine. I have noticed that this does not happen on just certain applications; for the most part it just randomly happens. It does consistently happen howver with the items shown in the tray at the lower right portion of my screen.

Back in the days I had time to be a Windows MVP, there were a lot of
questions I knew how to answer, but this wasn't one of them.
We have a Vista machine running Vista Ultimate. It is a Toshiba Tecra.
Within a few minutes of booting up, even in safe mode, the mouse pointer
drifts to one side, usually the right, and stays there. If you leave the
machine alone for a while, the issue goes away, but the moment a user starts
doing anything, the mouse becomes unusable in this way. I have tried exiting
all applications, and meticulously exiting every service whose function I
know is not a core Windows function, without avail. Windows Defender has not
found an issue.

I really can't understand why my vista pc wakes up the monitor when it resumes from sleep due to a scheduled task in the task scheduler. I expect logically that when Vista resumes form sleep due to a scheduled task the monitor stays completely off, that is it remains in standby mode, instead it turns on showing a black screen and the mouse pointer and the worst thing is that, even if i set an idle time for the monitor to turn off, it doesn't go to into sleep, that is if the scheduled task is running for one hour the screen remains on with black screen and mouse pointer for one hour!!!!

My girlfriend has recently (August 09) purchased a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium x64 edition pre-installed. Everything was absolutely fine for a week or so, but now whenever the computer starts up, it goes through the welcome screen etc in normal time, then the screen goes black with a mouse pointer (which one can move freely), for about 1 - 2 minutes. After these few minutes, the desktop loads perfectly fine. It would be okay, but it's a really new laptop and it's a little bit annoying. I've tried everything I can think of to sort it out, but I'm getting sick of it.
Here's a list of what I've tried: Had a play with services.msc (I'm not an idiot, I know what I'm doing). Had a play with the msconfig startup services to remove AVG watchdog. Tried to load 'last known good configuration'. Tried some bootup stuff. Installed some original Dell software which I had removed. There's still nothing and I'm starting to stress out. My girlfriend is at university now, and she's patient but it's not really fair on her to have to wait too long for her laptop to startup, because it's an amazing laptop!
Here are the specifications: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition (Service Pack 1) Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU T4200 (2.0GHz) 4Gb DDR2 RAM ATi Mobility Radeon HD4570 (512mb Dedicated)

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 530 running under Vista Home Premium. It was supplied without a monitor. I have tried it with two monitors, a small LG flat screen and a 20.5" widescreen Samsung. In both cases the mouse pointer is about 2 mm (1/8th inch) out of true so that when for example selecting files from a list in Windows Explorer it is easy to select the one below that intended. How do I synchronies the mouse pointer with the hotspots? An obvious answer is to contact Dell, but, if it comes to that, if there is some simple registry tweak in Vista, then hopefully I can fix it with kind guidance from this newsgroup.

with no hand on my mouse, the pointer will begin to move around erratically usually in a small area. It is a cheapy optical made by Micro Innovations. Is it eh mouse's fault or something else in my system? I'm running Vista 64-bit Ultimate.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1. I have Norton 360 installed as well as Windows Defender. Norton and Defender run at different times on different days. All of my e-mail is scanned before it is installed on my computer. There are no known viruses on my computer. A few days ago I noticed that my CPU would average nearly 80 to 90 percent. When I pressed ALT-CTRL-DELETE it would not respond. I ran taskmgr from the command line to see what processes were running. Nothing out of the ordinary was running.
I did see explorer.exe maxing at 50 percent at times. I read a few comments about this issue and one response was to delete ( I normally rename) vdmdbg.dll When I tried to do this I would get access denied. I did attempt to change the ownership but was unable to. I also changed my login process to require ctrl-alt-delete. When I did that it still would not accept it. I ran the login screen utility to allow me to enter the ctrl-alt-delete from the gui which did work.

When I post a question on a newsgroup and get an email stating that I have a response and I click on the "read and rate the response" link I get a new Internet Explorer window that remains blank. It also has the word "Done" in the lower left corner. Does anyone know why? Is this a new problem in Vista? They seem to keep poping up.

My old PC ran Windows XP and Outlook Express. My new PC is Vista and Windows Mail. I moved all of my ISP settings from Outlooks Express to Windows Mail. I can compose and send mail. I can also receive mail. Anytime I try to response to mail, I get the following error message -
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'Re: Numerous Countries Have Recently Dropped The Dollar as Their Reserve Currency . . .', Account: 'mail.kingwoodcable.com', Server: 'mail.kingwoodcable.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0F
The subject in the error message is differnt depending on what I'm replying too, but the error code is always the same. I called support at my ISP and after about 2 hours of troubleshooting he told me the problem was with my mail client. I am running Trend Micro virus scan but I get the error message even when it's disabled. If I compose a message from scratch and send it, things work fine. It's only when replying to emails that I have the probem.

This problem have been bugging me for about a year now. Whenever I bring up a new window (where you can browse for files), when opening, saving or importing something into the applications, so when I rightclick anywhere (the space, the folders or files), it just hangs for a minute (sometimes longer), while I see an hourglass-mouse-cursor, and I can't do anything about that window. I can tab to other programs, though. Sometimes there is also the same delay, when I right-click an icon (of an application that does not exist) on my Quick Launch bar. I have tried different applications, like ShellX, ShellMenuView and ProcMon. I've also tried removing some keys in regedit, to get rid of the extra rightclick options (like Winrar).

I just recently bought 'Vista Home Premium 32 bit'. Throughout the whole time of installing and setting everything up, the whole system was very slow. I tried inserting a disk and it took ages to get a response, I chose to install something from the disk... and everything froze at that instant.

Clicking screensaver, or any other constituents of Personalization, brings no response. The "hand" icon doesn't do anything regardless of which item it is pointed at. Very frustrating as I particularly seek to review my screensaver choices already installed.

I need some assistance. I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop that runs Vista Home Edition. Whenver I boot up and try to open a program or application, it takes a really REALLY long time for it to open. For example, whenever I try to open Firefox or Internet Explorer or even my control panel, the window will open and will be blank. Then it will start to load but either take an enormous amount of time or, after I've become tired of waiting, I'll try to exit and it will say (Not Responding). Now eventually this goes away and the window does close, but like I said, it takes a ton of time trying to open and close these things up. If I do wait it out and I do get into my Internet Explorer or Mozilla, any links that I click or addresses that I type, it again, takes forever. I've run a deep system scan with my Anti-Virus software and came up with nothing. I did a system restore to a point where the problem was not happening and, again, nothing.

I have an old Logitech but fully functional mouse (cordless optical).
When I ran Vista x86 Ultimate, I installed a small program that allowed me to double-click with middle mouse button. Now, with Vista x64 Ultimate, it doesn't work anymore.
Do someone know another small program to allow me that?
