For the past week my arrow pointers at times, when over tool bar or the File, Edit etc. bar turn into a small circle with four pointers, a bit like a target. Any ideas why?

Did anyone find a solution to this? It's started happening to me. I select eyedropper and I get the little target symbol instead of the pipette symbol. But not everytime. Sometimes it's the pipette and sometimes it's not.

Is your caps lock key on?

No. At least, not that I am aware. I'll watch for that. I did disable the capslock on my keyboard, because I hit it by accident all the time. IT repaired it, however, thinking it was just broken.
So maybe I'm hitting it without realising, thanks for the headsup.
