How do I change appearance of cursor from a black square to normal
 

My cursor indicator within Excel is a largish black square which is really
annoying as when you move around the screen with the mouse, the black square
is hiding info contained in the worksheet cells!

Also, the Excel icon which is usually top left of the worksheet has been
replaced by a black square, this isn't as annoying obviously but the 2 are
probably linked. I've checked the mouse settings within the control panel,
but the cursor appearance is fine within other applications, i.e. Word,
Powerpoint, outlook, etc. It seems specific to excel. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
