corrupt or missing c:\windows\cursors

[bobgar34]

i wanted to change the pointer settings and got this message   C:\windows\cursors\pen_r.curfile, which contains the "handwriting" cursor,is missing or corrupt .  would extracting the file from installation disc do anything? i have not removed or altered any of these files. thanks

A lot of those sites have viruses. Be careful!
