Mouse pointer is too bright. Help Please
Hello
I just got Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP. It does not allow me to adjust contrast when it is connected via DVI, so I have to go to Catalyst Control Center and adjust contrast and brightness. I got the right setting for my new monitor but there is one little problem. The brightness and contrast of mouse pointer stays the same no matter how much I change the setting. Now the mouse pointer is a lot brighter than the rest of the screen. It is very annoying to me. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you and Merry Christmas!! |

Download some mouise pointers, look for some soft colored ones, there are
thousands to choose from. As for settings for built in pointers I dont think you can. "SS4" wrote in message news:uqojh.1075$511.465@trnddc06... Hello I just got Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP.

Mouse pointer is too bright. Help Please
If you are running the default white pointer, change it to something else,
like the "3D" shaded one. Apparently Windows renders them through different code paths, such that the alternative pointers receive less hardware acceleration. The other thing you can try is changing the "Full Screen 3D" brightness and contrast settings in Catalyst Control Center. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

That's a *possibility*, though I never had a problem in the last ten years
with the 3D shaded pointer. Meanwhile, SS4 is *currently* having problems adjusting the brightness of the default mouse pointer. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Really? I've never heard this before. I've been using the "3D" pointer since Win '95 and I've never had a problem with any game I've played. JLC |

Mouse pointer is too bright. Help Please
Hello,
I tried them but none of them worked. Even changing mouse pointer to all black color. the pointer still much brighter. Nothing have effect on the mouse pointer at all. I am not even sure what can cause this. I did not have this problem with my old LCD monitor. Could it be the new monitor(very unlikely I think)? or some issues between the graphic card and the monitor? Maybe I should try changing the graphic card.

Mouse pointer is too bright. Help Please
I don't think changing graphics card will help. The mouse pointer (along
with the shadow) is actually rendered by hardware. This is considered a "feature" that's now standard on both ATi and nVidia cards. I take it you already tried changing the "Fullscreen 3D" brightness in Catalyst Control Center? Another thing to try is the brightness adjustment in ATi Tray Tools. Yes, there are in fact two different ways to change brightness in the drivers. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
