2 questions - restarting computer and pointer size

[Guest]

Using Windows XP Pro, recently I have had some problems trying to get the
notebook to "stand-by", shutdown and restart. Nothing seems to happen on some
occasions. A few days ago I uninstalled Norton anti-virus and install
ZoneAlarmPro on trial basis - not sure if this would contribute to the
problem or not.

Any help?

My other questions concerns the size of pointer. I want to use a magnifier
pointer as shown on the Mouse-COntrol Panel. However, when I shut down and
boot up later, the default small pointer shows. The magnifier pointer doesn't
seem to stick. How can I get it to overide the default?

Thanks. Norm.

After you changed the pointer did you click Apply and OK?
Just clicking OK will not set and save settings.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I have clicked Apply most every time and then
OK. The changed pointer is there (forgot to mention this) when I first boot
up but when I log into my section, it goes to the small pointer default. I
set the pointer while I'm in my log in section. This is a stand alone
notebook and I, of course, am the administrator.
