Solve : Funky Text Cursor Thingy?

Answer»

I have been getting a weird cursor in IE7 (XP Sp2). When I am typing, I don't GET the usual flashing "|" thing, I am getting a "|" with a small black triangle at the TOP on the right.

I've even got it as I write this message!

What is this & why is this?Control PANEL > Appearance & themes > Mouse Pointers (on left) > Pointers (at top)

Check that 'Windows default' is the selected scheme then 'apply'.

If this doesn't fix it, double click on 'text select' cursor & select 'beam_l' (I THINK that's the right one).It didn't work. Just so you know, the cursor thing is only in text boxes in internet explorer (7). Everywhere else, it is the proper flashing | eg notepad, word etc
Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab. Click on "Reset" button.when i turned my COMPUTER on today it was gone. very weird.

thanks anyways.Restart cures many things.....
