Making the mouse pointer bigger?

Ello guys,

I am short-sighted so need a big mouse cursor. I had a program called cursorFX which was good and I could make the cursor very big but it caused a few issues with the PC. Can Windows 7 have big mouse cursors without any addional software? Is there a site where I can download some?

The built in extra large black/inverse are useless to me because they turn white when you move over a link ect.

Yep, if you type "mouse pointer" into the start menu and choose "change how the mouse pointer looks" you'll get a window with a drop down box, change it to one of the "extra large" schemes.

edit - just re-read your post, let me have a look.

In regards to this you can modify the "link select" cursor to one of your choice by clicking "browse" and making a selection. Is this what you mean?

Yeah thanks. But with cursorfx I could make the cursor a lot bigger than even the extra large cursors.

That cursorfx is an handy tool for cursers.

With version 2.0.1 the cursor disappears on the preview windows on windows 7
