Vanishing Cursor

[ny_winemaker]

I have a Dell Inspiron 9100,WinXP, with a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 video card, 128MB, running at 1920x1200, true color. When running Mastercam Router upgraded to v9.2, I lose my cursor in the graphics area. It showes everywhere else. This makes it fustrating trying to select items on screen. Is there a setting that will restore the cursor or am I going to have to live with it?

 

Thanks

James do a search here on the forum under video settings and grafics cards, there is a ton of info for your problem.

Hey, I thought that we were only up to 9.1 sp.2??

James,

Try turning down your hardware acceleration a notch or two.

I ran into the same problem with an NVidiaa MX based adapter when I intalled Mastercam Draft 9.0 SP1 on my computer. My MC reseller suggested setting changes that made no difference. I solved the problem by downloading drivers from Nvidia. The problem was the 3rd party drivers that came with the adapter. I would suggest you download drivers from ATI but be aware ATI adaptors have known problems with MC. I used an ATI Radeon prior to the NVidia and did not have the problem you described.

A very common problem with the nvidia MX cards and win98/ME combo covered many times here but this is the first time I have heard anything but "poor performance" out of the Radeon (an excellent adapter for gaming just not for MC)

I changed the acceleration setting to the middle and it seems to be working OK for now.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
