(0.632) D3D for mouse pointer

[Magnus]

My mouse pointer has been replaced by a light gray "D3D".

This makes it extremely difficult to click on the various buttons.

Using a Radeon 9600 PRO.

There should be a "D3D" above and to the left of the cursor, but the cursor should still be visible.

It's above and to the right for me. Hmm... have you checked that you have the latest Catcalyst driver? 5.2 I think. Also, have you checked your video settings?

 

[Magnus]

Graphics settings are fine, and Catalyst is the latest.

Turning down all graphical options in M&B didn't help either.

 

[Magnus]

Any input on this? I've had reports of this from another friend who has the same problem.

I've temporarely solved it by darkening the background on the menus, but the black text does pose a problem.

Are you using some "special" cursors in Windows? Try some of Windows default cursors if you are...

Just a guess...

 

[Magnus]

I shut down CursorXP, and my windows cursor came back.

Not a pretty one, but at least I have a pointer now

@Magnus: I know this topic has been quiet for some time, but if you weren't aware, for CursorXP you can use CTRL+SHIFT+C to toggle CXP on and off.

Wow! An answer to a year-old bug report for a version which most of us have never played. Talk about being helpful.

 

[Xinuxunil]

You're welcome!  The bug is still in existance in a version that just about everyone is playing, so it just might help someone who has CursorXP and can't see the mouse in .751.

Tis true. I actually forgot about this, I'll add it to the bug list


Truth is any kind of custom cursor or similar may cause the same problem. Looks like you need to rely on the default Windows cursor if you want to see the pointer (anyone want to take bets that official Microsoft cursor schemes would still work?)
