Animated Cursor Problem
Hey everyone, this is my first post here :) Anyway, I just got a new Dell Inspiron 1545 with 7 home premium. Whenever I startup the computer, the cursor changes to the spinning blue circle thing, just as it should. It works normally for a few seconds, and then it stops spinning. The cursor is not distorted or anything, the animation just stops. As it spins for the first few seconds the computer is on, I assumed that a program that autostarts with windows is causing the problem. I installed Quick Startup and disabled practically everything, which didn't work. I went into the pointers tab of the mouse properties, and when I select the Busy or Working in Background cursors, the preview in the upper right of the window is very laggy, although I'm pretty sure this isn't a graphic problem as the computer runs the aero theme smoothly. Also, I tried downloading and using someone else's .ani file, because I thought that mine might be corrupted somehow, which didn't work either. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
