Do you mean it just vanishes completely or just on the bottom half of a 43/50 line screen? If it just at the bottom of the screen then update your mouse driver. Rob

Every once in a while (more often than I like it) my mouse just dissapears from my TP 6.0 desktop. Until now I noticed it happening only after running some application in the IDE (no it's not in the application !!, most of the tvguide.. files do it as well). I'd like to know if there are more people having the same problem, and if somebody knows what to do about it. It's a hell of a lot of work to leave the IDE and start it up again, just to get my mouse back on screen..... -- | Peter Peters | UUCP : pp@win.tue.nl | | Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE) | PHONE : +31-(0)40-474120 | | Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science | TUE : HG 8.82 / 4120 | | Disclaimer : I said WHAT ??? | VHF : pa0ppe |

I had exactly the same problem with TC++. In my case it meant upgrading GMOUSE from 8.07 to 8.20 and using the .COM driver only. I hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian McDonald | 52 Cook Street| / /\ /\ Hamilton | This space free for advertising !! / / \/ \ New Zealand | / / \ +64-71-563438 | I can receive mail but can't reply to it.

Apparently the IDE is hiding the mouse cursor when it runs the application (which it should), but not restoring it when the program terminates. The workaround is to repaint the desktop (via the 'Repaint Desktop' item in the system menu (you know, the menu indicated by the biconditional symbol)). -- David Conrad dave@tygra.ddmi.com uunet!tygra!dave "Just when you least expect it, the unexpected happens." -- = CAT-TALK Conferencing Network, Computer Conferencing and File Archive = - 1-313-343-0800, 300/1200/2400/9600 baud, 8/N/1.
