Mouse arrow cursor will turn into a crosshair and desktop frozen

[newtusmaximus]

I have been running LL1.08 successfully on my Tosh A10 for  some months without problem.

I have not recently knowingly downloaded any additional software add-ons.

For some reason I  too have  just started suffering the X cursor and freezing problem.. Changing cursor settings does not seem to make a difference.  Also browsers have now "lost" their - + sizing  "icons2 in the top right area of the browser screen.

Pointing to the search  boxes, it is difficult to achieve the blinking line  and to add text  query.

Not sure what, if anything, I have done to trigger this problem.  Help appreciated.

Thanks
