I posted this first to comp.sys.amiga but did not get
a reply that deals with my probelm.  Somehow my
wait pointer was changed from the white cloud to
a dark "black hole".  Not that big a deal except
I can not change it back.

I noticed this after I tried  the AX disk magazine
someone loaned me.



  I received two messages in comp.sys.amiga

1: just change the mouse pointer colours.
2: No way to do it.

But with no explanation of what is going on with the
pointer.

AND

So far #2 appears to be correct, no matter how
I change the colours for the mouse pointer, the
busy pointer is STILL black.  


I even rebooted and using the original workbench disk (write-protected)
1.2 and 1.3  STILL left me with a black hole for a  wait pointer.

Could some kind soul please enlighten me?  I would really like to know
what is going on here OR what should be going on.

Thank-you in depth information is always appreciated.  I like to know
the why and how.
