[andyco]

anyone?

[Tom Speirs]

Sorry, but I think it is something specific to your system and I honestly don't know what it could be right now.

[andyco]

ok thanks so im stuck with it then?

[manafauntia]

^{I've been playing around with this on my system as well. Mine won't hide no matter what I try. I have a dedicated cabinet, so after I'm done with all of my configuration I'll remove all Microsoft and Windows branding, install transparent cursors, and just have it boot directly into PinballX. The cursor will still be there, but it will be invisible. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.}

[andyco]

its ok i have fixed it myself with a workround have used nomousey.exe /hide and added it ti the pinball.bat file and that worked. and in the pinballx setup i av run the nomousey.exe for exit program to run to restore the mouse and its working ok with that.

[Tom Speirs]

Where exactly did the mouse cursor show up and is it within PinballX or when launching VP etc?

[manafauntia]

With mine, the mouse cursor in PinballX is where ever it was when I launched the software. Once I open a table in VP9 it centers the cursor in the middle of the playfield monitor. I think there's a problem hiding the cursor in Windows 7 because VP9 can't hide it either.

[andyco]

mine wos within pinballX but it ok now with the workround i did. it wos ok in VP ect just showed in PinballX.
