I stupidly let my neices loose on my laptop yesterday, and I've logged on today to find this puppy thing attached to my mouse, which is VERY annoying! I've looked on control panel at add/remove files but there doesn't seem to be anything new....please don't tell me it's there forever!

Click your start button. Go to control panel. Go to appearance and theme. Look to your left and there will be a box that says See also. In the box should be mouse pointers. Then click and then choose. Good luck!

Hi, kids eh!, have you checked in the start menu to see if there are any new programmes, if not go to the control panel again and go to 'mouse' and go to the section named 'pointers' then check to see what is under 'scheme' it should say windows classic or something like that, if not change it, click 'save as' and then apply. If all that doesnt work then just love your puppy!!!!

Hmm, they've probably installed a screen mate. This is a little program, that shows an animal chasing your mouse. They probably thought it was cute, but mostly it's annoying.
See in your Start->Programs if there are new entries and try to delete it from there. If that doesn't help, ask your nieces to remove it. If they don't, hit them hard :)
It is also possible that you find it in your Ctrl Panel --> Mouse folder.

Go to Contol Panel then open to Printers and Other Hardware and click Mouse then click the Pointers in the tab then change your mouse pointer...
Hope it help....

I think you mean the cursor has been replaced with the puppy!
That's just a little fun thing that kids find cute.
Unfortunately, unless you know the name of the program that installed this, you can't remove it.
First of all, go to "All Program" and check if any new program has been added.
It's bound to show up there.
See if it has an uninstall option and uninstall there.
If not, go to Add/Remove programs, select this program and Remove.
All the best.
Cheers.

Go into control panel and click on the mouse icon. There you should be able to sort the problem out.

click on Start menu -> Settings -> Control Pannel
Find the Mouse Icon
Click on the pointers tab, you can change the style of your pointer through there.
Hope that solves your problem.

I believe that is the "voice control" Go into system settings, then at the bottom, select accessibility, and should be an option for voice control or something similar, and un-select it/ turn off.

HI. IF YOU GO BACK INTO CONTROL PANEL. CLICK ON "MOUSE", THEN WHEN THE MOUSE PROPERTIES WINDOW OPENS, CLICK ON POINTERS, THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHICHEVER ONE YOU WISH. I HAVE WINDOWS XP, AND THAT IS HOW I DO IT.
