When I open an excel workbook, old or new, the cursor turns into a black square box within the worksheet. When I move the cursor into the toolbar area it turns back into the arrow. I have gone into the control panel under mouse and everything is set to the default settings. This does not happen on any other programs. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

I don't have any idea why that would happen because of Excel. Maybe try right click on the desktop and select properties and check the Themes tab to see if that has something to do with it.

Is there some code in workbook_open event. When using this, the cursor is turned back in the original shape (default shape of your theme that you selected on your computer)

Application.cursor = xlDefault
Don't allow direct editing in cells (display cross when mouse over area of cells) but only in formula area

Application.EditDirectlyInCell = False

What about this one.
1. configuration screen
2. accessability options (the thing for people to ease the use of a computer)
3. There is a tab where you can set the thickness of the cursor.
