In Vista, whenever I open a window in IE7, the mouse cursor does a brief imitation of a blue toilet flushing. When it is spending any time thinking, it flashes on and off in a rhater spastic manner. Does anyone else have this happen? Does anyone know of a solution?
Control panel - Mouse - Pointers tab - select default for busy and working in background or browse for what may suit you.
Don't think you can stop the blinking when busy unless there's a blank pointer somewhere to select.
