Cursor box of annoyance...

Has anyone else been getting this?

I haven't played on my laptop in almost a year (played on my desktop mostly prior). When I last played on it, it was fine. I've moved out over the last couple months and can only play on my laptop and just decided to get back into the game.

Wherever my mouse goes, a black box sporadically follows. It quickly cycles back and forth between the cursor image and a black box as I'm moving it across the screen.

When I'm on a loading screen, I feel like I'm in Microsoft Paint cause it acts like a wide brush and I've made it a game to see if I can cover the entire screen in black before the zone loads.

Obviously, i've done a lot of updates over the last month to catch up for the last year of not doing them on my Laptop.

Any ideas on what to do?

I should also probably say:

I'm on Lion 10.7.3
MBP 15"
4GB of ddr3 1067mhz
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256MB

That black box is almost always caused by third party mouse/trackpad software. Try removing anything like that first.

Thanks, I'll take a look. However I don't recall installing the Naga software on either of my machines.

There is some kind of cursor setting in the graphics options. I don't remember what exactly, you might want to see if turning that off helps.

Are you running Ultra mode?

I'm running with the Razer driver for my DeathAdder mouse, if you have a Razer Naga, you might want to try that. Or maybe you're running it, it doesn't really show up in the Dock or menu bar, only the configuration tool does.

I don't think it would likely make a difference for graphics issues though. I'm thinking a graphics card driver or graphics settings issue there is more likely.

If I look on the Nvidia website, I don't see a driver for Lion for your card. This might have something to do with it.

I looked for any drivers that might help and nothing came up. And yeah, it might just be because nvidia hasn't upgraded my specific graphics card with a patch/driver for Lion.

Found a couple other things online that had me delete a few files which could be causing the issue but nothing seemed to help.

It's just really frustrating cause the game looks good and all, but as soon as I movie my mouse there's a stuttering 1in by 1in black box thats covering my mouse.. so i'm never really sure if I'm clicking on the right things.

Thanks for the responses.

If you create a new user and log in with it, do you still see the black box when running coh?
