Here's a funny thing!
Suddenly I have acquired a small (5 pixel) black box around the mouse pointer when using MS outlook in windows 2000. Outlook version 2000-sr1.
This does not happen in any other application that I have found and was first noticed after a power outage.
Any ideas?

You might try this:

Right click My Computer, left click Properties, click the Performance tab, left
click Graphics, reduce the hardware acceleration.

Actually, while I was tooling around in the settings area I found the "enable pointer shadow" box had been checked
?how
Unchecking this solved the problem
