Ugly Cursor

I still have an ugly pointer and hand. It's all grainy and black and white. Was there ever a fix or workaround for this?
I'm on vista.

That's the compatibility mode which fixes it's behaviour not it's look.

there is the compatible cursor thing. i haven't used it in forever though. i think if you right click on the game icon and open properties and put -compatiblecursor 1 at the end of the target it should work. although they did fix the issue for vista a while back.

It should be near the middle of those options, between VSynch and Shadow Mode.
Both of these are what I said (Sharker: there is an option in-game now instead of having to flag it on your shortcut), and what I said was rejected by the OP.

Wow I fixed it.
Here's what my arrow looked like:


and here's my hand:


and here's an impression of my ugly cursor by my demon imps:


and changing the settings did nothing to fix them.
But then I read on wiki that after an update compatiblecursors was loaded by default for all vista installs. I checked my shortcut and I had -compatiblecursors 1 there so on a hunch I changed it to 0 and bingo they were normal. I was putting up with them for 3 years dangit.

Sorry agge and everyone you were right (sorta).

No actually if I remove it I get the ugly cursor again I have to have it listed in the shortcut as 0. I guess I have a setting wrong or maybe I need to update vista.

The setting you have wrong is the setting I and Kheldarn stated earlier in the thread. Remove the flag from your shortcut, then change the setting in your options.

Wasn't the setting I confused myself between my shortcut and my quick launch bar (see my sig).
