MS Mouse problems and PIC

[Guest]

OK, I know this is a longshot, but here's the problem (maybe there's a fix)...After installing PIC, and after loading FS2K2 w/FSNAV4 with the PIC aircraft selected, my mouse curser switches to a multicolored square instead of the pointer. Laugh if you like, but it's dificult to select any options with a 1/2" cube! I am using a MS Wireless Intelimouse Explorer.After much frustration, I deleted PIC and everything went back to normal. I am using the latest mouse drivers for Win 98SE. I had deleted the scenery files that PIC installed, still have a mouse curser problem. Only thing I can think of is buy a new mouse, but I like the ability to program the buttons on this mouse. If anyone has had a similar problem and found a fix, PLEASE let me know.Frustrated !

2 things I can think of:1. Have you tried it in both windowed and full screen? If it works fine in one but not the other, then it is most likely a video driver issue.2. Is "Show cockpit tool tips" turned on under Options/Settings/General in flightsim? If so turn it off...and if it is off, try turning it on to see if it makes a difference.Hope this helps,Regards,Steve Dra

Well, now I'm really confused!I was all ready to try Steve's suggestions, so I reinstalled PIC, twice. The first time, I removed the scenery files, as suggested by someone else, but the a/c would not show up. The wing lights were there, but no a/c.So, I deleted that installation, reinstalled PIC but left the scenery files in place. I disabled the "show cocpit tooltips, as I had done all along, and loaded the Delta 767. Hmmm... no mouse problems! So I decided to take a little trip from DFW to ONT, about 2 hours, to see what happens. Nothing!!! Everything worked great.Guess it may have been a third party scenery file I may have deleted or another program that I use, Flight Tracker, which I did not start up. I don't know but, for the moment, I'm a happy camper. Thnx for the suggestions, Steve. I'll keep them in mind if I run into problems in the future.
