The Simpsons Cursors For Your Website, & Computer Mouse! For free and use them on your desktop computer for Windows XP or Windows Vista or Windows 7 or Windows 8. May 14, 2010 Guten Morgen Ich habe jetzt endlich auch Windows 7 bei mir laufen Nur habe ich dazu jetzt eine Frage Wo bekomme ich den Goldenen Mauszeiger her der unter Windows XP und Windows Vista vorhanden war.
I am using UltraVNC to connect from my Windows 7 x64 machine to Mac OSX running Vine Server.
The cursor I see on the Mac desktop is just a dot rather than a normal cursor. What setting have I missed that will give a familiar arrow cursor?

In VNC Viewer connection options, under mouse and keyboard settings, check the radio button for 'Track remote cursor locally'. It sounds like you have it set on 'Don't show remote cursor'.

When Launching UltraVNC use the command line argument '-normalcursor' to use the windows arrow.
Example: 'vncviewer.exe -normalcursor'
I want to add some insights about Windows 10 VNC viewing. If you have trouble seeing a mouse cursor on a Windows 10 machine with no mouse attached, you can enable the 'mouse control using Numpad keys' feature:
- Open start menu.
- Click the 'Settings' cog
- Click the 'Ease of Access' menu item
- Select 'Mouse' in the left pane
- Enable 'Use numeric pad to move mouse around the screen'
This forces Windows to show a mouse cursor even with no physical mouse attached thus making your VNC life much easier. Bonus: you can actually see 'Resize window' cursors on the windows edges!
I had the same problem with UltraVNC, so I tried TightVNC. TightVNC has an option to change the local cursor shape to an arrow from the small circle/dot. I could not find that option in UltraVNC. That is the only option I changed from the defaults. Remote server was Ubuntu and the client was Windows 7 Enterprise.
When using *.vnc-Files to save connections, you can edit the file and change/add the line:
to show a normal local cursor for that connection.
I too experienced a similar problem using Windows 7 and the RealVNC (R6652). However, I was able to resolve it by resetting the display of the Operating System configuration back to its original default value. Specifically, clicked control panel - display and selected the default radio button of 100%. Afterward, the cursor arrow re-appeared properly on the remote server side of the display window.
