I don't know if this is tablet specific, vista specific or possibly Gateway
specific. For no reason that I can discern, my "Normal Select" cursor
changes from the default for whatever cursor theme I have selected to what
looks like a "precision" cursor. It frequently changes when I make changes
to the desktop appearance, wallpaper, resolution, color, etc. Has anyone
else seen this behavior?

The only way to get the default back is to go into the Mouse dialog in the
Control Panel. At least, that's the only way I found so far.

My system is a Gateway C-142XL with Vista Home Premium SP1 installed.
