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  then type personal and choose personalization. Click change mouse pointers. UNCHECK allow themes to change mouse pointers. Click ok.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 |

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. F.ex. by using ccleaner and transferring the temp-folder to another partition, etc. Yet there seem to be strange things happening. I just encoded a video to a non-C-location. during... |
