View Full Version : My cursor is acting funny and I want those little packaged chocolate croissants
My cursor started acting funny I guess ever since I started taking those pix today using the prnt screen button. It will freeze, sometimes it will highlight everything.. it doesn't work unless I click on the right or left side of the mouse rather than simply the normal way which is using sweeping of fingers.. please advise..
I am also in the mood for some mini chocolate croissants with milk but I don't think anyone can help with that, they don't sell those in the U.S unless fresh unfortunately..

Asalaamu alaikum, When i was in Egypt recently i used to love those mini croissants with chocolate sauce in the middle, they were amazing. You get like two in a little packet. Pity you dont get then in th Uk either.

Try nutella in a regular croissant.
Gah. I'm craving some milk chocolate.
You Brits are lucky, getting Cadbury milk chocolate. Though, one of you UKers told me that Cadbury is poor man's chocolate, and that there are much better chocolates out there lol. Dunno!
Ferrero Rochers anyone?

Cadburys are pretty good. They've been taken over by an American company recently called "Kraft". Thorntons are really good. Love pralines.

Haven't heard of either. American chocolate isn't so bad, I suppose. I just ate some Hersheys' Cookies'n'Creme Kisses right now. The valentine's season has taken over the candy isle(s).

Hersheys are ok but nothing special. Their certainly not a hit here. Cadburys is still choco king here. Its all about Galaxy chocolate. But for luxurious chocolate it has to be belgian truffle chocolate and belgian pralines.

Gah. I'm craving some right now. Won't you be a dear brother and send me some? :D
When I came from England last Summer, I brought a load of chocolate with me. Finished it a month or two ago though.
I'm craving some good milk chocolate right now. Trader Joes' sells some good swiss chocolate...

I assure you they taste as delicious as they look.
The contrast in textures between the crustiness of the bread and the creaminess of the chocolate, and in taste between the savory and the sweetness is really yummy.
*getting my butt off and walks to the nearest bakery*

If it's an Acer you could have completely disabled the touchpad with a fn+F* key combo. Were you pushing the Fn key when you was doing the print screens?

:sl: yeah was pushing the fn screen plus prnt screen.. It is giving me such a hell of a time.. really dampening my celebratory mood lol
it is good to have you back akhi.. al7mdlillah :)

Definitely. I'm still yet to find a chocolate-filled eclair though.

not eclairs and not store bought chocolate croissants with delicious cappuccino although those are delicious too .. just that you get so many of those succulent ones and the calories aren't as huge as regular baked ones.. in fact I prefer almond croissants from the bakery than chocolate ones.. but none of this offers a solution to my cursor problems..

Thank you :) On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to activate or deactivate the touchpad. For example, on a ACER laptop it's Fn + F7. I'm guessing maybe you disabled it accidently using a keyboard shortcut. Have you tried going to control panel and looking at the mouse settings to see if there's an option to enable or disable the mouse?
Also what model is your laptop?
Reply
it is a gateway.. you must know by now how often I go through computers.. I don't know why I inadvertently seem to abuse electronics..
I have done as you suggested and went through control panel to look at mouse controls.. there doesn't appear to be anything wrong.. I have re-enabled and saved.. now it acts up and then goes back to normal then again cyclically .. it is really very annoying almost as if it freezes and doesn't respond to touch then it works fine.. not sure why.. I have tried cleaning it as I am in the habit of eating and drinking by my laptop.. but I am not sure.. maybe it is just constant wear and tear.. :hmm:

Touchpad drivers may need updating OR you may have disabled the touch-pad by accident... [Try pressing the button to enable/disable touch-pad functionality]
