  3. Mouse pointer changes to arrow with a vertical scroll bar

    The only change I had made was to install Open Office. I just uninstalled it and the issue remains after a restart.

    The pointer looks like the 5th and 6th pointers in the pointer list from the Mouse Settings.

    As for running trouble shooting:

    My settings window does not have drop down list in the upper right.

    I do not find anything labeled Troubleshooting in the Settings window so can not get to steps 4 & 5.
