Pointer Problem
 
Using XP and IE8 - Having reloaded everything from a format the 'pointer', when browsing the live page, (Not when on the menu bars at the top or drop down menus, ordinary arrow then), becomes a hand, which when holding down the left click becomes a fist and can move the page etc. Don't know how I got this feature but I don't like it and would like to get back to just an arrow pointer.

Been to control panel>Mouse>Pointer and Pointer Options, any suggestions please, it is probably very simple and I'm being very stupid!

(PS - the hand/fist won't select smilies either)

Make sure you have Windows Default selected for the Pointer 'Scheme'.

Are you using IE7 pro as an add on?

Yes, using IE7Pro but have used it before without this problem, any suggestions please MC?

Thanks 42go, checking that too.

Go to settings and untick super drag and drop.

Preferences - Base settings - super drag and drop

Thanks MC but it wasn't ticked! Think I had better uninstall and reinstall.:confused:

EDIT: Sorted!
