Mouse Icon Problem

[Guest james98926]

Hello Everybody,

 

First, I checked out the archives but could find nothing on this particular

problem; thus, I would be grateful for any help on the following problem:

 

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. I reinstalled a Kensington Wireless

Mouse with accompanying USB receiver. When I moved the receiver to another

port, the mouse icon (please excuse the lack of specific terminology) then

added the following icons < <> > (which are solid black). I have a pencil in

hand icon. Directly underneath it is this black triangle pointing right, a

black diamond, and then a black triangle pointing right. I uninstalled the

kensington drivers and the problem still remains when using the Synaptic

labtop mouse or the Toshiba wired notebook mouse. I 've gone to the Control

panel, mouse pointer tab and even the Device Manager. The mouse works fine

as far as movement, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the additional

icon that moves with the hand. Does anyone know what I might have done

wrong/accidently and how I can correct it. Bonus question: What purpose

does this attached icon serves? Again, thank you for any help you might have
