Please explain "strange weird shape".  Could you post a screenshot?

It is not arrow. It's has a corrupted and kind of a transparent shape. In the Internet there are some solutions that didn't work for me. As soon as get access to the pc I'll try to take a picture and upload it.

Sounds like a graphics problem to me, perhaps due to damaged connection- I'm guessing you have a laptop and its the connection in the hinges that is damaged.

Sounds like what I have.  What's your graphics chip and driver?
