Windows 7 Cannot change mouse pointer

Starkman · Dec 15, 2013

Hello all,

I've searched here and in Google, but I can't find a satisfactory answer.

I open the mouse section in Control Panel, choose the Pointer tab and set it to the pen. Well, applying it or OKing it doesn't work; nothing takes. I try browsing to the pen curser, but it still doesn't take. The mouse still stays as a white arrow. I can change only the arrow to black, large, small, etc. Any ideas?

Running Windows Home Prem.

Thanks,

Starkman

In the Mouse Properties, look under Customize > click Browse > scroll down to pen.cur ( see my screenshot) > click it >click Open > click OK.

You should have the "pen " cursor now.

It was Starkman who called himself by that expression. By no means was my text meant towards anyone else, except in a general sense, it wasn't even meant against Starkman, it was meant for him. I don't like name calling, although I admit the spirit of the saying, it's like "I'll kill you", when the meaning is not seriously meant.

It could be considered a matter of human dignity. Let's keep it, and give it to others.

Off topic, yes. Insulting or offending, no. I do apologize David, for the mess.

Since you have so graciously replied, I am obliged to reciprocate.
I apologize for my outburst. It was uncalled for.

David.
