My mouse keeps blinking and dissapears when dont move it

from PolMach Forums
Like I said, my mouse keeps blinking when I move it and disappears when I dont move it at all.

I have the latest DirectX and the patch.

I can still play, but I notice a little lag and its a great inconvience.

Does know whats wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there!

Same thing happened to me when I first installed the game, and no amount of drivers upgrade or anything could fix it until I tried checking "Start game in window" in the options screen. It still plays fullscreen (as before), but without any mouse or lag problems.

Don't know if that will work for you, but hey, you never know...

They'll probably need to know some more video card info to help and system info.

As freelance_cynic has said, running windowed mode will often get rid of cursor problems because the initializtion is slightly different. He's probably running at 1024x768 so it still looks fullscreen.

If running in windowed mode doesn't help you, please run dxdiag, save the report and send it to me along with the description of your problem (so that I don't have to e-mail you and ask you what I'm supposed to be helping you with) and I'll see what I can do.

I tried starting it in window form and now I'm not able to click on any of the buttons.
