A little help?

[Nebevans]

Hey I'm not great with computers, as you'll probably shortly find out but, I own a Dell Inspiron, and whenever I press the CTRL key, a circle appears and then goes away again. The same circle randomly appears when Im using the laptop aswell, does anyone know what this is and if I can deal with it? Its starting to annoy me.

Has this always happened, or is this a recent development??

 

[Nebevans]

It's been happening now for about 3 or 4 months, but it hasnt always happened no.

Ok.. Lets start by filling out your system specs, so we know what were dealing with...

 

[Nebevans]

[Tews]

[Nebevans]

That is a mouse setting. I have mine set to do that. With these old eyes, I can't always readily see where the pointer is. Go to Control Panel and select Mouse. Click on the Pointer Options tab. Look at the last option at the bottom and uncheck it. You will see that mine is checked.



I hope this helps.

That's the beauty of this forum. No matter what issue comes up, someone else has experiencing in that area.

Yeah absolutely agree! =) And the replies are also quite prompt. To everyone in the forum, I really appreciate that, Thanks!

I am in singapore and I received replies from kind people from different countries like US, canada.. and more. but what makes me curious is that I got replies at 5pm local time, which means there is a great time difference, so I wondered why aren't they sleeping when it's 5a.m in the morning.

Just curious.
