Invisible cursor

Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I've been dealing with for some time now and I can't seem to resolve it. When I'm using word processing software (OpenOffice, Notepad++, Notepad), the cursor is no longer visible in the text input area. Even though it's not essential to type text, it's very annoying...

So if you could help me, that would be great.

Ciao

    The cursor is no longer visible--

    Hello

    The cursor is the blinking point used to indicate where you are typing.

    For the mouse pointer, you need to go to....

    Start / Control Panel / Mouse / Model...choose..."Reverse model (system)"...confirm

    I don't have all the answers. I'm just here to help you.

    So I had the same problem with the invisible cursor when I opened Photofiltre and selected the stamp tool, and the problem actually comes from the cursor. So what you need to do is simple

    you need to go to: start - control panel - hardware and sound - mouse - pointers - scheme (select none)

    and the problem should normally be fixed
    kisses

    Hello everyone
    I'm having the same issue with a second-hand Sony laptop. The person who sold it to me told me that I accidentally switched it to touch mode, but she doesn't remember how to switch it back to keyboard mode. Plus, it's a Windows 8, which isn't great. I found it small and practical to take with me, but now it's in the closet and I've gone back to my Windows 7. If anyone has had this problem with Sony, thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Go to start / control panel / "accessibility options" / display...Set the thickness of the cursor...

    thin or thick.

      Thank you for your response,

      but after testing, it doesn't work. In fact, I'm not sure if I explained myself well, but it's my pointer that is not visible!! It's white and on the white background it can't be seen...
