Im using a laptop now, and the mouse pointer is very small, i want to change it somthing a little bit bigger. When I goto the control panel and into the mouse options , I click mouse pointers and then this happens... { The C:\windows\cursors\hand-r.cur file, which contains the "link select" cursor is either currupt or cannot be opened. So I press ok and it just takes me back to the control panel. Any Suggestions...?

You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse pointers in the system components manager, and the "accessibility tools" as well, as I believe they have some mouse pointers included. You may need the windows install disk, or the files from it on your hard drive, however. Alternately, try replacing the specfic file(s) that cause the problem from an install disk, install disk files, or a donor computer.
