[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Mouse trouble with TC++ editor!!!

Sy Sperling <BUAD1621@Ryerson.CA> (02/05/91)

Hey guys, I need some help here. I have been using turbo c++ and love it, and
the editor that comes with it. When i first use TC++ the file comes up and i
can see the cursor, move my mouse around and everything else, But when I run
(ctrl-f9) my program and it executes and comes back my mouse is gone. ?????
I have control of the mouse, but i can't see the cursor. I have a bus mouse,
I don't know if that helps, but it's the first prob i suspected.

any hints????
I would appreciate any help or comments, etc. Thanks in advance

It sounds like you need a new version of your mouse driver.  I've had
problems like that with MicroSoft C and CodeView which were fixed by
using the appropriate rev of the mouse driver.

What type of mouse driver was it?  I got a cheap mouse and a cheap
driver that came with it. It was an Artec. It did the exact same thing
(workaround: Press Alt-Space and then R to Repaint the screen). When I
switched to the true blue mouse.com (Microsoft Mouse Driver), my
problems disappeared..
