1. Re: Photoshop CS5 constantly changing my cursor
Chris Cox Sep 22, 2010 1:58 PM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)Photoshop doesn't do that (can't, really).
Something outside of Photoshop is changing your cursor.
That could be a utility program, and OS setting, or a driver (like a tablet driver that might need to be updated).

klsteven-vBdprK Sep 22, 2010 2:05 PM (in response to Chris Cox)Thanks for your reply, Chris. But I don`t know where to look. And what could it mean that it only happens when I`m in Photoshop?

Chris Cox Sep 22, 2010 2:35 PM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)It could mean that you don't really use other programs :-), or that some driver has a setting specific to Photoshop (like, maybe, your tablet driver).

dec9 Sep 22, 2010 3:24 PM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)There is a option on Windows 7 Mouse properties called Allow Themes to change mouse pointers. That may effect the intous/photoshop.
Look in windows 7 Display settings and make sure the DPI is set to 100 percent. When set at something larger it sometimes causes 3 pointers in photoshop. This setting may make the pointer larger with the intous? not sure but mybe.

klsteven-vBdprK Sep 23, 2010 2:24 AM (in response to Ricky-T)Dec9, my settings are already set to 100%. I also unchecked the option that allows desings to change my cursor. But still the same problem.

7. Re: Photoshop CS5 constantly changing my cursor
Meridianox Oct 21, 2010 11:58 AM (in response to klsteven-vBdprK)I've just started having this problem today. The cursor is fine when starting up my computer and using it, but as soon as I use Photoshop, the cursor becomes enlarged. Furthermore, I can't use any of the tools in Photoshop, it's stuck on paint brush! I can click on any of the tools in the toolbox (say, selection box), but the cursor still shows as a paint brush, and it will paint a brush stroke when I drag (mouse or tablet). Quitting Photoshop and the large cursor problem persists until I restart the computer. I can't get any work done until I find a solution.
Windows 7 x64
Photoshop CS5
Intuos 3
There is a option on Windows 7 Mouse properties called Allow Themes to change mouse pointers. That may effect the intous/photoshop.
Actually, this seems to have fixed the problem. No idea why it was suddenly causing a problem though, Photoshop CS5 has been working well for months. It's under Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse > Pointers > Allow themes to change mouse pointers (turn off).
