Pointer expanding (getting bigger) while online
Recently, I noticed that my mouse pointer expands about three times it's size. It starts while on line, then remains that way until I restart Windows. Once I restart Windows, it goes back to it's regular small size.
I checked in control panel in the "pointer settings"-everything is set correctly. It only corrects itself when I restart Windows. I checked for viruses, running: Malwarebytes Pro, Avast, and Hitman Pro-nothing shows. I use Chrome as browser. Thanks for your time. dwdraw2 ![]() |

1.) Can you run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
And let us know the results? 2.) Can you also try this? Click ![]() Restart. |

Thanks for your reply Seven Guru.
scf /scannow did not find anything. The pointer was set to normal, and the scheme is set on "none." I did notice something. I temporally switched my browser from Chrome to Internet Explorer, and so far, the pointer hasn't changed? So, could this have something to do with Chrome? I haven't spent much time browsing, but will move around a little to see if a change will occur. Any more ideas, please leave them here and I will check in later. Thanks again for your help. dwdraw2 |

Thanks for the reply rcvjew
After some surfing on the Web using IE, the pointer never changed. It seems that the problem must be with Chrome. I took your advice and uninstalled it. I haven't put it back on just yet. Haven't herd of speccy, but will look into it. Thanks for your time and help. dwdraw2 |

C-Partition gets bigger and bigger Seems to be normal, I was told. But as this happens anyway, i want to slow down the process as hard as possible.
