Mouse pointer after installing office 2003

E

Eng.

I have recently installed office 2003 to my laptop. After I have installed
the program the behavior of the maouse pointer changed. If I don't move the
mosue more than 5 second two perpendicular dark lines (like a plus sign
centered at the place where the pointer is) shows up around the pointer and
red flashing light moving along the lines toward the pointer. I have tried to
remove it but I can not figure out how it is done. I have checked the mouse
settings and I can not find anything. Does anybody knows the answer?
Thanks

Sounds like some 3rd party software for the mouse is installed, but I
had not heard of that particular cursor.

Well, it just started right after I have installed the MS Office 2003. I have
not installed anything else after that point.

Office 2003 has handwriting recognition but like I said, that "cursor"
doesn't ring a bell. Does it only do it inside Office apps or on the
desktop? Any "new" items in the task manager? I'd nose around a bit in
the Options, settings and see what features might account for this.

Humm, perhaps you have some "comet cursor" adware that attached itself
at about the same time 2003 got installed?
