I can try this when I get home from work. Just as an update to Krakermans quickfix pre test version 1.73: I have the opposite monitor set up as him. Using two monitors and having them set as 1-2 - 1 being playfield and 2 being backglass/DMD. I swapped the monitors in windows to being 2-1 which fixed the cursor issue I think. The cursor started at monitor 1 (playfield) however I can not for the love of God remember if the cursor was visible (I instiantly touched the mouse to check where it was). However while it fixed the issue all my DMDs were gone and could not be located. I then reverted the changes back to 1-2 setup making the DMD come back but the cursors was back on the backglass, so it seems this issue is being reproduced in different ways and on different terms(?). I also use version 1.72. I'll update it like I said. Is it only to run the install file and previous settings will still be intact?

I only use 2 monitors, backglass and playfield. I tried changing the cursor wondering if I should set the cursor to a blank image as a quick fix but it seems that windows does not manage to save the settings, showing the regular cursor whenever I reboot. I am going to try and just switch the monitors (and back again) when I get home from work and see if it works like you suggest. Thank you so far, Krakerman:)

Im sorry i was a bit quick. I have the exact same problem as described in post #2... I still don't understand why it happens as it's only when loading a table through pinballx.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem and I am using windows 7 Pro. I'll see if I can get a hold of a log file. I put it in my cabinet but I haven't connected to LAN with it. I'll see if I can manage to squeeze in a usb stick later on if it's needed.. Basically every table that loads is getting the cursor on top left corner of the backglass. Everything else is fine, no cursor visible when I am in pinballx. I connected a mouse to drag it over to the playfield and the cursor vanishes. The only problem is that it doesn't save the cursors position. I assume that is the point from pinballx' side. I did try to open tables with backglass directly through visual pinball and the cursor was not there when they game was ready loaded so I assume it has something to do with pinballx loading the tables?
