Hi,

I get this square instead of a vertical line for a cursor when I type anywhere, i.e word, emails, notepad etc.

Google help said press the "ins" key but, nothing happens on my PC.



Home made CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 95W 2.4GHz, OCZ Vendetta Cpu Cooler, 2x2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 800 (400mhz) PC2-6400, EVGA GeForce 6600 GTX, HD sata1 TB, Corsair TX750M Psu, X45, Win10 Pro 64

On the following page use the slider to change the cursor size:


Post back if this is of no help.
