[+17 REP] Silly flashing cursor...

[jesus]

Whenever I click anywhere on a page, a flashing cursor comes up (as if I'm typing) and it's really annoying because I can't use 'page up' and 'page down' buttons. :(

Can anyone tell me how to turn it off?

start > control panel > printers and other hardware > mouse > look around there :) (should be under pointers)

[jesus]

Nothing on that that solves it, thanks anyway. :(

It's like... if I click anywhere on your post, it will come up with a flashing cursor (the one when typing) as if I can backspace it or something but obviously I can't, I'm just giving an idea of what's going on! :(

[Mr.Sam]

Ohh I thought you were meaning that the arrow was flashing

Are you using firefox, and when it flashes is it like it dissapears?

[jesus]

Yes but I've had no problems before. The cursor is still there, it's just when I click anywhere on the page the little flashing icon comes up like when you are typing something. The mouse pointer cursor thingy is fine.
