Message: [QUOTE="Guest, post: 10173465"] I am not talking about the mouse cursor. It seems you don't understand my problem. Let me try to explain it again: When I am NOT typing the cursor blinks. This is normal, and I can set the blinking rate. The problem starts when I begin to type. All programs I know simply show a non-blinking cursor while typing... for instance IE7, which I use to type this message, does this correctly. However in Word and Outlook 2007 under Vista the cursor keeps on blinking even while I am typing. This means that half of the time I cannot see where I am typing because the cursor is gone. It is especially nasty when trying to correct typing errors. I tried to solve this by setting the blinking rate to its highest speed, but this doesn't really solve the problem. I think this is a bug, which is caused by the fact that most people who work on creating these programs don't really look at what they are typing. Being dyslexic myself, I do need to keep a very sharp eye on each letter I type, and I therefore immediately noticed this peculiar blinking. It is very distracting and makes normal typing even more difficult for me. [/QUOTE]
