    Cursor Jumping (NOT bug/glitch) - Windows 7
    « on: January 01, 2011, 10:23:26 PM »
    So I am having some issues and I'm sure that this is more a preference or setting that can be changed somehow, somewhere. This is when the cursor moves to a default yes/no/ok box on a window prompt in most programs. Occasionally this isn't an issue but as a veteran user of windows systems this just simply gets on my nerves very frequently.

    Here is a portion of a dxdiag, any help/info will be appreciated.

    In Mouse Properties, uncheck the "Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box" option, which is on the "Pointer Options" tab.

    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
