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?

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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan 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

View 4 Replies View Relatedbooted 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

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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
Windows Vista Ultimate x64. Service Pack 2. Gigabyte GA P55A UD3. Intel i5 750 2.67 ghz
Powercolor Radeon 5850. These are what i am using,
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!!!!

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently got a new computer that had a 70GB HD. I've been using it for a few months, adding pictures and downloading a few things periodically. Primarily it's been used for surfing the net and checking e-mail, light stuff. However, I'm down to about 27GBs and have not added nowhere near 43GBs worth ofmaterial to the PC. Any idea where the memory has gone and how I can get it back? I have checked the temp files and internet files as well and they are long gone

And now Aero disappeared, Checked Services and all that jazz, everything is running. Already redid my score. Every time i try a Theme the uses Aero i get Windows Classic. Along with SP2 Windows Poweshell was installed, could that be messing it up? I dont have anything but updates recently installed. no incompatibility programs. I heard that sometimes when u apply Service patches ur Serial can mess up and might need re-activation? Cuz i remember before i bought a Ultimate Serial after the time limit i couldn't use Aero. I upgraded from Basic to Ulti. So yea, Checked the services, did the score, checked reg, checked processes, and tried most of things suggested on the forums.
