Mouse disappearing problem
I have an interesting problem for everyone here to help solve.
Whenever i play a game the mouse blinks when i move it. Its a really fast blinking and when it's not moving you can't see the mouse at all. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the game is new or old. It does the same thing when i play the sims, or C and C Tiberian wars. Any help would be great. Thanks Ben PS while I'm typing this its doing it too, but only in the message part of the screen. |

That is usually a video driver issue.

Have you looked in control panel under mouse.
See if you have "Hide pointer while typing" checked.

The mouse is disappearing probably because there is a cat in the house.
 Sorry, couldn't resist.

You're funny, try reinstalling your video driver.

hey everyone, i found the problem and now i feel like an idiot
Turns out the problem was that the pointer trail box was checked and the game engine has issues with it, so as soon as i unchecked the pointer trails it was fixed. thanks for all the help and humor Ben |
