    When I hold Ctrl down (trying to make multiple selection) my cursor disappears, thus making it impossible to actually make multiple selections. Its driving me crazy, and I cant seem to find anything on the web about this problem except one post saying that I can try to disable hardware graphic acceleration (didnt work).

    This doesnt happen in any other office program but it did happen for a little bit in windows explore when i was trying to select multiple files (doesn't happen anymore)


    I have office 2010, and the laptop is a levono x220

    Take a look in the Mouse Properties.

    I had this issue after installing a Logitech mouse. The issue happened with the software on the system, regardless of whether the mouse was plugged in or not. Removing their software solved it.

    Try launch powerpoint in safe mode - then test CTL down and let us know the result
