  1. Windows randomly changing design options


    I have been having this issue since Windows 7. I have set a background picture, a mousepointer and the default app appearance to dark. The design is the same on 4 computers. All file locations are the same on each machine.

    ONE of my computers always loads it up properly, but once in a while will just change the mousepointer back to the default one.

    The other three machines will just randomly not set the default appearance to dark, randomly change the mousepointer back to default or both. It's pissing me off, every time I boot my machines I need to manually set everything the way I want it again.

    Edit: Most of the time, not all the time, when I go to the mousepointer settings the mousepointer I selected for this design IS ACTUALLY SHOWN in the menu. Once I press OK there it will update it. It's driving me nuts.

    Anyone else encountered this and found a solution maybe? Thanks in advance.
