Block Cursor in Windows 7- How to change it
I just got a new computer running Windows 7 and noticed when I type the cursor is a black square or block rather than a line. I can't figure out how to get the cursor back to the line when typing. The problem occurs in all applications where ever I need to type something. In searching posts, I have come across something about changing the width of the cursor but haven't been able to find out how to do that in Win 7. Any help is greatly appreciated.
