I hope I can explain this. I opened Plus! Themes and some how my default cursor and hourglass changed to ones from Plus! I was in the midst of un-installing it when I noticed that I had a couple of personal pics. in there. (How they had gotten in, I do not know.) Anyway, I tried to open them, and the Plus! program or whatever it is, opened. I started clicking around and my default cursor etc. are gone. So I went into >Add/Remove > Setup and removed it as an installed component. It was removed, but the cursor and the busy thing is still showing. Not my default cursor etc. What in the heck happened? I put Plus! back in my system. To see if I could figure out how to get back to default, and I am lost! Any help would be so apprieciated.

Have you gone into the display settings and changed your theme back to the standard windows xp theme?

I just tried that. I have ME and I applied all ME choices. I can find the file for the cursor and the busy thing. I wonder if I deleted them that it would come back to default.

hmm...Dont delete them..rename them and see what happens. That way if something gets messed up you canrename them bacjk

Grinler I did it. I went into >Control Panel> Mouse>Mouse Properties>Pointers > Choose> Windows Standard >Then applied the changes. Thanks for your interest in my problem. Have a good night.
