Start-Control Panel-Mouse-Pointer Options. It should be on that page

I am having problems with my mouse pointer, the ctrl key,
and that little bullseye it displays. I can not uncheck
the "show location of pointer when I press the ctrl key"
option because I have long since upgraded to a Logitech
cordless mouseman (I can't remember what my previous
mouse was either). The Logitech software (v9.79) has
completely changed the mouse control panel and this
option is gone. I have suffered with it on for a long
time now but I can't take it anymore. It's very annoying
when I play games such as Delta Force because everytime I
press ctrl - that damn bullseye pops up, distorts the
video, lags the game, etc... AAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

Please help. THank you.

This is why it is so necessary to remove installed drivers whenever you
remove hardware. It can come back to bite you in on the behind!

Your action should be to install the original hardware and drivers again -
then uninstall the drivers - reboot and allow the system to load the
generic mouse drivers. Then shut down and change your mouse to what you are
now using. Boot up and reinstall the current mouse drivers. Reboot again.
Done!
