I have an Emerson E-mouse running with Turbo Pascal. The mouse works fine until you run or compile, then the cursor disappears. The mouse is still active but you can't see it. Running in Microsoft mode does not help. Any suggestions? The Emerson support line person had never heard of this.

Upgrading the driver usually did the trick. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark H.

It sort of works on some mouse drivers, though it may cause other problems: for instance, you're likely to get mouse droppings if you move the mouse when it's supposed to be hidden.

Emerson did not offer an updated driver and other drivers do not work. I did get a "dropping" once but I can live with it. Thanks for the help.
