I am now getting a peculiar mouse curser flicker. Previosly it was steady. Any ideas?

Hi,Sometimes I get the flickering cursor and flickering red information bars at the top of the screen and generally it's because I've loaded something or changed something which doesn't fully agree with the sim. Like a kind of computer indigestion.If deleting the last thing loaded up doesn't get it cleared up then a System Restore- just back a day or so seems to sort it.Andy.

If you are using an animated pointer, you might try changing it to the default white 2D pointer.DJ

This would happen on my slow to a crawl system only if "Vertical Sync" was on, but, this might not be the case for you. In any event it is still worth a try.Regatds,Douglas
