When I start up Win XPHome in VPC6.1.1 my trackpad/mouse curser
changes to a square of 4 vertical columns each about 1 inch tall by 3/8th
inch wide - this occurs as soon as I have selected my user name and entered
my password. If I go back to my Mac OS - the curser returns to its normal
'arrow'shape. I have a G4 powerbook with OS 10.3.3 and 512MB Ram. I have
tried a system restore for Win XP, down loaded the latest VPC updater,
downloaded SP1 for Win XP Home ( Since removed during the system
restore) and really do n ot know what to try next apart from uninstalling VPC
and starting again, which I am loathe to do. At the present time I cannot use
Win XP at all, and it also appears to be much slower after installing MAC OS
X.3.

I Have tried 3 types of Mouse - cordless optical, cordless roller ball and Mac
Pro Mouse

I very much doubt if any one can assist you - this group is for assistance
running XP on a PC - I very much doubt if anyone is running under VPC on a
Mac.

If this is MS VPC, then I suggest you repost in the VPC group
(microsoft.public.virtualpc).
