    Cursor visibility
    Xppro sp2; want to be able to see the cursor blinking in my text... my window background color is gray, but how can I see the black cursor? Right now it's invisible, unless it's over text, then I can see it blinking in the black text. I can see the mouse pointer though. Thank you for your help.

    If just started happening, try a system restore back to when working, other than system restore point, don't know on this one except try and choose another mouse pointer to see if it can be seen just by using another pointer

    Thank you for your help... the only thing that's working is to change the window background color, as the cursor is grey no matter what.

    Yes, because it's the text cursor that blinks, in the text box, not the pointer you can move around. Typing on Firefox at home now, it's white. At work it's gray on ie6.
