Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had stumbled on the following problem or maybe had
ideas on how to remedy this situation:
Twice now my mouse cursor (the actual icon) has frozen at some point on the
screen but when I move my physical mouse Windows reacts as tho' everything
is normal. This means that when I press the Ctrl key with "Show mouse
position when I press ctrl" option checked the "mouse" moves around
normally. Also when I hover the invisible focus point over a link the cursor
turns to the hand icon, even tho' the actual icon is still in the same spot.
The only anomaly to this has been when I move the focus point over the
border of a window (the icon becomes the <-> icon of resizing) and I press
down the left mouse button and the icon actually gets drawn in the proper
place whilst I am holding down the button + resizing the window. But as soon
as I let go of the left mouse button the icon gets drawn in the same
position it was previously.
Both times I have had to reboot my Windows in order to get it working
properly (a logout-login didn't work, and there is no "restart X" on Windows
;-). I have also tried switching resolutions (*shrug* it has to do with
drawing the image, so I thought it might work).
Some specs on my setup:
Vista Ultimate x64
Asus P5K Pro motherboard
nVidia 8600 GTS graphics card
Logitech MX510 mouse
I have all the updates from Windows Update + hardware drivers for Asus and
nVidia. Logitech's pages say they use native drivers in Vista.
Cheers,
