Title: pointers Post by biff_buford on 18.08.02 at 00:00:13
Alright, after much searching and combing the internet I finally retreived a driver that works for my voodoo 3. However, Now instead of displaying the hand pointer it shows a weird square that changes colors, and shapes as it moves across the page. At first I decided to just leave it be-It is pretty trippy after all, but now I'm over it.
Anybody have any suggestions? |

Hm ?
So you are using custom Mouse Pointers for your Windows, but the Actual Pointer shows completely screwed up ? There are not many reasons I can come up with. First, no 3dfx Driver had ever such a problem, so what you're having is not inherently Driver related for sure, although it might have a influence. Tip 1 : Use default Mouse Pointer under Windows. Tip 2 : Check Bios setting for Items like "Palette Snoop" (Disable), "Video RAM Cacheable" (try Disable), "Video RAM Cache UC/USWC" (try UC)... Far shot, but it might be... Tip 3 : It is more than a bad workaround, but try reducing "Video Hardware Accelleration" step by step, just to see if the Problem ceases... Tip 4 : In case this happens in Games only, look for a setting "Hardware / Software Pointer". In a few games, some DirectX Drivers appear to have troubles with running a custom Mouse Pointer in Hardware, that's where a Software Mode can help. That should work in most cases... Other than that, there's nothing that I could directly come up with ::) Greetings FalconFly |

i would try a different mouse first before getting too
anxious and if does the same try a vga driver and see what that does.i would assume that its a winDOZE thing |

Yep, good idea :)
If the problem persists with a "Standard VGA" Driver, it's most likely either Hardware or Mouse Driver related... |
