Flashing Circles On My Computer?

Question

Hi...I get flashing circles on my computer...they appear for a split second, then go away.  I used psr and took a picture. Anyone know what it is? Thanks.

Answer 1

I get those when I hit the ctrl button -- it shows where the cursor is, if you can't see the cursor easily (like after hitting the mouse accidentally).

Answer 2

It is called buffering, the computer is waiting for data for some reason. Maybe the processor is busy, or the memory is full, maybe the internet connection is lagged so it spins these little circles till it can finish its task.

Answer 3

Swap out your HDMI and see if it changes

Answer 4

WRONG FORUM. Go to the Computers category dipstick. 

Answer 5

When do these circles appear?

What program is running when they appear or is it all of the time even with no program running (except for what is running once you start the computer)?

Do you have some kind of screen recording software running in the background? 

Often this type of software will use a circle to show the location of the hard-to-see cursor.

Your question is in the "Photography" section, and really should be moved to a computer section.
