HaHaHa....Hello Paul, Someone has either installed, or mailed You, a cursor changer (for want of a better description). There was a segment on Tech TV @ http://www.techtv.com/screensavers that linked you to a falling icon joke to simulate a virus. The link also had some other great computer jokes in it, along with that one. You might be able to find out where it was installed, and delete it. Good Luck Ken KC8NLE
