Pointer expanding (getting bigger) while online

[dwdraw2]

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.

1.) Can you run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

And let us know the results?

2.) Can you also try this?

Click rb: 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.

you might have a odd extension in chrome causing it what does your extension list look like?

Thanks for your reply rcvjew.

I have nothing in my extensions, I keep them cleaned out on both IE and Chrome.

I have no idea why it would be doing that you might need to reinstall chrome then. i take it you have not messed with any of the chrome://flags/ ? is your chrome version 31.0.1650.57 m?

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.
