Black Blinking Cursor Box
Suddenly, a black blinking cursor box has started appearing on my screen where the vertical cursor should be. Does anyone have a suggestion how to change it back to the vertical cursor. Thanks

Re: Black Blinking Cursor Box
Does anything else look different? The only thing I can think of is that the PC settings somehow got changed in the Accessibility Options?? There are settings to make things bigger for people who can't see well. Those settings are in Control Panel under "Display" and "Mouse". If you go to "Mouse" and click on the "Pointer" tab, the first setting you'll see is called "Scheme:" That should be set to "None".
That doesn't really sound like your problem but the only thing I could come up with. |
