No mouse

[abc]

When I start the computer up there is no cursor. If I
start it in Safe Mode I do get a cursor and it works fine.
I have an error message which shows up during normal
startup which reads:

Qttask has caused an error in Kernall ????

I have run Stinger and CWShredder and no problems appeared.

Suggestions?

Thank you.

Use QuickTime's Options/Preferences to stop it from "Loading at Windows
Startup"... if for some strange reason you actually need that feature,
then uninstall and reinstall QuickTime.

This will fix your Qttask error message and (probably) fix your cursor
thing.

Thanks for answering. Please forgive my dumb questions but
how doe the configuratins on a video player whther or not
the cuirsor for the mouse is showing up? Also, I could not
find a options/preferences section for my Quicktime. And
no I don't need it. Right now I have just uninstalled it.
But the cursor still does not show.

Thanks again for your help.

QuickTime is one of those programs that like to take over your entire
system... the mouse-connection was a shot-in-the-dark (which missed,
apparently).

You mean "cursor" as "pointer", right? (technically, I think the cursor
is for text)... does the mouse still work ?

ControlPanel/Mouse... maybe rummage through there... there's an option
to hide the mouse while typing, for instance, or find the mouse by
pushing the <Ctrl> key (if you activate that option).

If no luck, there, try at

ControlPanel/System/DeviceManager (view by type)

take a look see if you have a mouse listed and if there's no question
marks or rex 'X's on it... and if you bring up Properties for it, does
it say "working fine" or what.

PS2 or USB mouse ?

It's there somewhere... doesn't have to be labelled
"Options/Preferences" maybe "Tools" or "Configuration" or something. And
the option may not be exactly "Load at Windows Startup", either: I don't
have QT currently installed and can't remember offhand.

Its a PS2. WHen I go itno Proerties it says it doesn't
give a status because it's rujnning in safe mode. The
pointer works fine and th mouse is fine in Safe MOde but
no in normal startup. I had just fixed a couple of things
on the computer whihch had to do with theis Home Page
hijack thing thathad been going on. Everything was fine
and then this started.

The following are 3 pretty comprehensive pest-control programs.
free for personal use antivirus tool:
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php

free for personal use spybot/adware detection & removal tools:
http://www.safer-networking.org/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

After you finish running those, try uninstalling your mouse then
reinstalling it. From the sound of things (at this point) your mouse
works fine with the Windows default drivers (as in SafeMode) but not
with whatever "fancy" drivers the manufacturer provides.
