Cursor files Missing or Corrupt
Posted by ULguy on February 11th, 2006


Hello to you all !!!

First all my system is Windows XP Home edition 2002, sp2, P4, Auto updates.

In attempting to change the scheme of my cursor via mouse properties I was
greeted with an error msg that stated this particular scheme file was missing
or corrupt. This repeated for each component of that particular scheme. In
going to C:\WINDOWS\cursors I discovered that it was indeed missing. In
fact, it appears that several schemes were missing ( when comparing to the
Scheme drop down box (Hands, Dinosaurs, Nature, reptiles, etc)).

I have made some recent changes to my system: 1) replaced a dvd-rom drive
with a dvdrw drive (Lite-on SHW-1635S), 2) installed the associated software
that came with drive (Nero express 6 OEM Suite, 3) installed Roxio Easy Media
Creator 8 Suite C/S, 4) converted my FAT32 system to NTFS, and 5) went thru
the process of cleaning for virus/trojans/malware following the suggestions
in Dave Lipman's article.

For the purpose of this thread only, I am looking to 1) recover/restore the
missing schemes in my cursors file, and 2) be provided with links, articles,
etc. that will help me find, or even better, create my own scheme.

I appreciate the help I have received in the past and thank you in advanced
in helping me resolve this particular issue. Thanks!

Hi Wes,

Due to problems with my dvdrw drives I could not resolve via disc. However,
the zip file was even easier. Thanks again for you Help!
