I am currently running Windows 7 Professional.  This morning, my computer did not wake from sleep.  So I had to restart it (typical Windows).

Upon the restart I noticed that my mouse pointer cursor had turned into a giant gray/black box with lines.  I learned that the upper edge of the giant box was actually the pointer.  So I managed to open up FireFox and Google my problem.

Finally, I ended up finding a solution that was kind of unrelated.  Basically I had to go into my control panel and then mouse pointer properties and UNCHECK the box that says the mouse will have a shadow.  Somehow, it became checked.  And then I restarted my computer.

Problem solved.  I am putting this on here in case anyone else has that problem and if they Google they’ll at least find a solution.

At least I didn’t have any kind of adipex side effects.
