This article was previously published under Q145704



SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows, the Pointerland tool included with the EasyBall may not change the mouse pointer from the default Windows pointer.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Pointer.exe is being loaded from the "Load=" line in the Win.ini file.



RESOLUTION
Remove Pointer.exe from the "Load=" line in the Win.ini file. To do so, follow these steps:

 Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the Win.ini file in the Windows folder.  Remove any entry containing "Pointer.exe" from the "Load=" line. For example, remove the following entries:    - c:\mouse\pointer.exe - c:\msinput\pointer.exe - pointer.exe NOTE: Do not remove any other entry from the "Load=" line.  Save the Win.ini file and then quit the editor. Restart your computer.
