pointers

Alright, after much searching and combing the internet I finally retreived a driver that works for my voodoo 3. However, Now instead of displaying the hand pointer it shows a weird square that changes colors, and shapes as it moves across the page. At first I decided to just leave it be-It is pretty trippy after all, but now I'm over it.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Hm ?

So you are using custom Mouse Pointers for your Windows, but the Actual Pointer shows completely screwed up ?

There are not many reasons I can come up with.

First, no 3dfx Driver had ever such a problem, so what you're having is not inherently Driver related for sure, although it might have a influence.

Tip 1 :
Use default Mouse Pointer under Windows.

Tip 2 :
Check Bios setting for Items like "Palette Snoop" (Disable), "Video RAM Cacheable" (try Disable), "Video RAM Cache UC/USWC" (try UC)...
Far shot, but it might be...

Tip 3 :
It is more than a bad workaround, but try reducing "Video Hardware Accelleration" step by step, just to see if the Problem ceases...

Tip 4 :
In case this happens in Games only, look for a setting "Hardware / Software Pointer".
In a few games, some DirectX Drivers appear to have troubles with running a custom Mouse Pointer in Hardware, that's  where a Software Mode can help. That should work in most cases...

Other than that, there's nothing that I could directly come up with Roll Eyes

Yep, good idea Smiley

If the problem persists with a "Standard VGA" Driver, it's most likely either Hardware or Mouse Driver related...
