    Missing cursor with Steam games in menu

    Well I installed W7 and had to re-download all my steam games. This resetted all my settings so I set the screen res again from 1024*768 to 1280*1024 but for some reason once I press done, my cursor disappears. This problem never occured when I had Windows XP.

    I can live with this problem but it's really annoying trying to locate where my cursor is.

    Hope someone knows how to fix this problem.

    EDIT: I do have mouse trails off

    Re: Missing cursor with Steam games in menu

    I would say try removing Steam and reinstalling it, possibly even download it again

    Re: Missing cursor with Steam games in menu

    Will that affect the games that are already installed?

    Re: Missing cursor with Steam games in menu

    Yes it will unfortunately, but you can backup your stuff so you won't lose game saves, configs, custom maps etc.

    Link to how you do it :

    http://supportwiki.steampowered.com/...Backup_Feature

    Personally I would recommend backing up your stuff uninstall the games then Steam. May be worth defragmenting your hard drive before reinstalling Steam also.

    Do you have setpoint installed? Logitech mouse?

    Try deleting clientregistry.blob and restarting steam (or just rename it)

    Re: Missing cursor with Steam games in menu

    I've got a Logitech mouse yeah, RX1000. I didn't install setpoint though but maybe it auto installed it perhaps. Gonna try that as I don't really wanna muck around with reinstalling steam and such.

    EDIT: Didn't seem to work.

    Re: Missing cursor with Steam games in menu

    It might be useful, but did you know that if you go into the mice settings in control pannel, you can tick a box which means when you press ctrl it locates the mouse pointer for you.
