disappearing cursor in word and browsers

[gdwyer]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: intel

Office 2008 on a loaded intel iMac. cursor becomes invisible when you scroll over a document in Word. I have changed the background to a color and have now white letters, but it is not the solution I was looking for. The cursor also disappears in safari and firefox. Not good. Works perfectly OK in all adobe products. This is only on the intel machine running 10.4.11 My other machines G4's and G5's al run fine. It is only a problem on the intel machine

Help???

Try dropping your contrast down a bit on your monitor.

Just in case you've not heard this a thousand times before:

1) Turn the Colour/Hue control right down to black-and-white so you can see
what you are doing.

2) Turn the Contrast all the way down.

3) Adjust the Brightness so that the screen just becomes milky, and then
back it off just a titch.

4) Adjust the Contrast until the White becomes "white" (as bright as is
comfortable)

5) Now colour it in with the colour control.
Now do a little tweaking: Brightness adjusts the brightness of black,
Contrast adjusts the brightness of White, and Colour for natural
flesh-tones.

In 10.4, the I-beam cursor is very fine: it can be a real challenge to see
it. If the display contrast is set too high, it can crush out and you lose
it entirely!

Hope this helps
