When, some time back, I bought a Dell laptop w/Vista, I was happy to have a portable machine that would run CoX decently...until I discovered I had no mouse cursor unless I ran in Windowed mode. It was there on the splash screen until the login window came up, then poof!
-compatiblecursors didn't fix it, in fact it would crash the game every time; nor did the problem go away when they supposedly integrated that functionality into the code itself. After several attempts to get help from the community and the devs, I gave up and resigned myself to playing in windowed mode on the lappy.
When I upgraded my desktop to Vista (yeah, yeah, I know), it was with some trepidation, but, a few teething issues aside, it went smoothly, including CoX. Until today's patch.
Now, just like the laptop, if I run in fullscreen mode- no mouse cursor once the signin windows appear. In addition, every time I start the game, I get a popup window telling me "The game failed to start properly last time", and giving me a list of supported video cards (which I greatly exceed, since I'm running a Radeon HD5850), and asking me if I want to start in Safe Mode. This error appears EVERY TIME I start the game, even though it does, in fact, start successfully.
Any ideas?
Things to remember:
-Common sense ain't;
-Overkill is the only kill;
-If someone asks if you're a god, run away.
OK, so.
