You don't say anything about your video type, etc. Some old EGA boards would make the cursor disappear for unknown reasons after a switch to 43 lines. I have written a TSR to prevent this on my Everex board... Let me know via email if you are interested in the source code. I make no guarantees that it will work on any other board Dan Bodoh (bodoh@cs.wisc.edu)
