How to change cursor...

[PinkiPad]

I don't use a mouse. The cursor is a little too small for me. A Google search showed me your instructions for changing it when using a mouse.

Is there a way to enlarge or change my cursor?

How can you not use a mouse? Do you use the keyboard for everything or do you mean you use the touchpad on a laptop?

By cursor, do you mean the vertical line you see when editing a file or the arrow that the mouse/touchpad controls?

Sorry, I thought I typed out I use a Dell laptop. The arrow is just too small. I've always used a desktop so changing the mouse cursor was easy.

Right click on the desktop > Personalize > Change Mouse Pointer > Then see picture

But I don't use a mouse ... I'm on my iPad now so will look tomorrow -- but -- I don't remember ever seeing that there.

I'm pretty sure we covered that.

Windows considers laptop trackpads and touchpoints to be basically the same thing as a mouse.

The option for a laptop is still the same. Windows 7 is still windows 7 on a laptop. If you hook a mouse to a laptop it still moves the mouse pointer. Change it the sameway as you would on your desktop, as suggested.

Well, I changed it -- twice -- but I still have a small pointer, not the hand icon I chose.

 

[AddRAM]

Are you clicking apply and ok ? Just don`t understand why you`re having trouble with this.

 

[AddRAM]

There is no hand. Just arrows.

 

[PinkiPad]

Under Mouse Pointers I have more than arrows. "Link Select" is at the bottom of the list and is the large hand.

Apply is greyed out but I choose OK.

 

[AddRAM]

Choose the large black arrow, is apply still grayed out ? That is the problem.
Is that some theme ? Do you have allow themes to change cursor checked ?

Give this a read. Make the mouse easier to use

It is Windows Aero System Screen. No large black arrow. Is there another I should try?

(if I don't respond quickly, it is due to the hurricane)

 

[PinkiPad]

Ah! Thanks for that link. I read that in my Kindle last night but forgot (symptom of my illness). Cursor is now big and black.

Gladly! Just tell me how.
