For example, if the animation contains three different images numbered 1, 2 and 3, and the sequence is 1-2-3-2-1, (five frames) then only three icons need to be stored in the file, thereby saving storage space. Sequence information present in the file determines the sequence of frames, and allows frames to be played more than once, or in a different order than that in which they appear in the file. I cons stay put, the screen does not blink, and I do not lose my broadband internet connection.Animated cursors contain the following information: (in order of position in the file)įrame rates are measured in jiffies, with one jiffy equal to 1/60 of a second, or 16.666 ms. Now my computer really does "do nothing" when the lid is closed then re-opened.

When the "close lid" option (Control Panel, Power Options, Advanced tab) was set to "do nothing," when re-opening the lid the screen would blink, change resolutions, then change back to the previous setting, and my icons would then be moved all over the place! By using the driver found at this problem. The touch pad doesn't have any of the special options that were available with the ALPS driver, but I don't need them.Īs for the video card, the problem wasn't the card. Step 2: An animated mouse cursor will appear with all its frames that you can edit, add, delete, or reorder their positions. Step 1: Launch the software and click on Animated Cursor Project.

He also uninstalled the ALPS driver/software.īefore I got this notebook, I had always used Microsoft Intellipoint 4.12 mouse drivers because I liked the way it made my mouse behave. My son has the same notebook and had the same problem with the startup sound. I installed that version, but it started doing the same thing, so I dumped it again.
#ANIMATED CURSORS UPDATE#
Message Edited by Mama8600 on 03-06-2004 06:54 PMĪfter uninstalling the touchpad software, I noticed that there was an update for it on Dell's site. My previous three laptops were made by Fujitsu, and although I felt compelled to buy from a local company, I'm sorry now that I didn't stick with a brand that I'd never had a problem with in the past. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be a repeat Dell customer. I'm not holding my breath on them getting a fix for this anytime soon. like that would have helped - not!!!), and I've learned to live without Quickset.
I've corrected all of the major annoyances I've had with this laptop (with NO help from Dell, other than to get repeated advice to do a system restore. You can edit each frame in a powerful editor, specify the display. All in all, Dell's pre-loaded proprietary software/drivers/utilities s-u-c-k. Many features permits creating smooth animated pointers.

I also changed the drivers for my ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility Pro 128 to the Omega Catalyst version to correct several another problems I was having. I'm now using Microsoft Intellipoint Mouse 4.12 software that's available at their website (I like the 4.12 version better than the 5.0 version). I've uninstalled Quickset for the time being, and have also uninstalled the software for the touchpad as it was causing my startup sound to stutter. Well, here it is, already March of 2004, and my brand new i8600 has this same problem. If anyone could tell me the outcome I would appreciate a lot. I usually test that when I load a slow web page or a big program and the cursor becomes a still clock instead of animated one. Your pointers should be animated now, but as soon as you reboot they should become still. You should change your mouse pointers with any animated set (Control Pannel, Mouse, Pointers then choose any set you like with an animated cursor).
Tech support has no clue what the problem is, so I am asking if anyone can test this on another Inspiron, possibly 8500, with Quickset enabled (I have the latest revision, A04). they are animated) when Quickset is not enabled.
#ANIMATED CURSORS HOW TO#
After playing with MSCONFIG I discovered that the cursors behave normally (i.e. How to Make Animated Cursors XD Step 1: Download Editor Step 2: Setup and Open Step 3: Make Animation Step 4: Save Step 5: An Example Step 6: To Use 20. The cursors that are supposed to be animated appear to be still. I changed the default cursors to an animated set (Control Pannel, Mouse, Pointers, then choosed "3D White", but I get the same with all other animated sets and all ani file). I posted this a while ago but with no luck.
