TICKET ARCHIVE -> Question Mark mouse pointer

acebanana - Mar 28, 2006 - 10:41 pm

Hi

I am using Remote Desktop to control my server but for some reason when I try to type into a dialogue box the mouse pointer turns into a question mark and won't accept my input - although clicking the buttons in the dialogue box works.

I assume this "feature" has been turned on accidentally by a certain key-stroke, but I can't find how to turn it off!

Please assist.

Thanks

Dave

Sorted it by logging out of the server and logging back in - but would be interested to know what I had inadvertantly turned on!

Cheers

Dave,
I am not familiar with Remote Desktop, but I do know that pressing the help key on the keyboard will change the cursor to a question mark in some applications, allowing you to click on the screen item you need help with. This may be what happened.

Thanks Tom

I had seen that before and assumed that pressing the help key again would turn the cursor back, but it didn't!

Cheers
