Re: Help with disappearing mouse pointer in GPL menus!!!!

I have found that if I use the D3D patch, and run it under D3D then it works fine. And it looks as good as with glide. I used the mouse that came with my Compaq computer, and I used a Logitech mouse. I found that the real problem was the the GPL was locking up as soon as I entered the race menu. I have the latest VOODOO 5 drivers. It locks up with 3dfx. It runs great with D3D. James

When I get to the menu screen in GPL at any track where I can PRACTICE, RACE, SETUP, or OPTIONS, my mouse pointer DISAPPEARS!!! I have to reboot. Has this happened to anybody? Please help. I have VOODOO5 with latest drivers, 1 GHz AMD Athlon with 256 ram. Thanks, James

Are you using a custom mouse cursor? If you are then use the standard microsoft mouse cursor. I have a V5 with latest drivers and don't have this problem so it's not the video card. -- Nos

Same just I mentioned somewhere here : Try to set AGP aperture size (or somewhat similar ) in BIOS to minimum. I had a mouse pointer probelems in other games, it cured. Voodoo's do not use AGP texturing. Warren James Larson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I have found that if I use the D3D patch, and run it under D3D then itworks > fine.
