Cursor Shadow Missing
Okay here's an annoying issue I'm facing.
When I drag things around, my laptop cursor shadow turns black. Under normal circumstances it is fine it remains a nice shadow but when I drag things it turns black. Unfortunately I do not know how to take a screen shot with the mouse appearing in it so I can't show it. Googling has not brought me any results.
Any solutions to this? It happened after I changed my cursor themes. Now no cursor theme would work properly.
Peace,
Kai

Have you uninstalled these "bad" curser themes?
If you have, and it didn't help, try a system restore back to a point before the theme installation.

Re: Cursor Shadow Missing
Okay I have it fixed though I do not know. However I'll list down the things I did so that people in the future with the same problem can hopefully fix it as well.
1. Changed my skins (windowblinds) around a few times
2. Changed my icons (iconpackager) around a few times
3. Installed older version of gfx driver and then updated to latest version
4. Used Vista Theme Pack welcome center to re-sync my themes.
5. Restart
Not in that particular order lol. It's just things I did. Thanks anyways Dan.
offtopic: Btws Dan, I just realized your name is pronounced the same as Officer Tenpenny from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, one of my favourite games lol!

Re: Cursor Shadow Missing
Another update. It's back, with a vengeance. I brought my laptop out to college today and the same thing is happening (I'm in college now) again.
Would it make sense if I said that back at home I've got an External Hard Disk Drive plugged in? I don't think it should affect the cursor though.... Since that hard disk only holds non-essential files. Even the cursor icons are all on my laptop itself...
Any suggestions? And removing the cursor/themes have not worked :-(

Re: Cursor Shadow Missing
OKAY! ANOTHER UPDATE!
I found out what causes it. My dual monitor set up causes it. Without my second monitor (when my mobo is mobile or sth) the cursor shadow would disappear. Wtf.
I NEED A CURE!
Lol.
