Cursor size is too big - How to change

original title: HELP WITH CURSOR SIZE. Hello and thank you in advance for hopfully an answer. Cursor size has been changed to being

Hello and thank you in advance for hopfully an answer to this most (what would appear to be simple problem. The  Cursor size has been changed to being massive , by a computer technician. To the extent of not being able to see where the exact place  the cursor is. I have scrolled through the forum to no avail. Someone else has posted the same question but no correct answer. On my own I have tried the windows help but only gives information on how to change the ms-dos cursor, this is not the problem. It is the cursor when typing anywhere anytime eg: Notepad or even windows explorer.This makes editing extremely difficult.  Using Microsoft Windows XP, Home edition, version 2002 service pack 3. Thank you so very much
