Hi all, I have a problem with the mouse pointer in windows xp. I was changing the dpi size a couple of days ago and the mouse pointer decided to enlarge along with everything else. The problem with that is the pointer is gigantic. I was wondering if there is a way to get it to reduce in size. I tried mouse properties and selecting the standard windows pointer, and it changed to a standard pointer but it's still gigantic. I also went to system restore and restored to an earlier date. The dpi returned to it's original size but the pointer did not. My monitor resolution is set at 1280x1024 and the dpi is at 144 or 150 percent of normal. Any suggestions?
