Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers

If it won't accept it, perhaps the file is corrupt...
If you notice all the XP "3D White" etc. cursors are gone.
So, I'm thinking they did something strange.

No promises, but you might give these a try...
They're the original XP cursor set.

Probably just ONE more good reason to keep XP handy!

And maybe even a replacement for nod32? Eh?

My extensive, custom, HOSTs file blocks many web sites and addresses, but the "Hosts Manager" program lets me shut off the hosts file so I can go to any web site, anywhere, with NO problems, or download anything I want.

Just a thought!

That's not an ISP's function!
It's pretty well up to you and your computer, what web sites you choose to visit.

Then, my friend, you need a new ISP... Where you go and what you do is none of their business.
