Mouse pointer is a black square

[wrm1]

Hello

My mouse cursor often becomes a black square, as if the cursor bitmap is missing. This seems to happen when focus changes (e.g on clicking on a text entry field). Returning to the host and then re-entering the guest sometime fixes it, sometimes not. I have VmWare tools installed. Whether the problem arose on installation of the tools I cannot say, as I did nothing before their installation.

My host is Mac OS X 10.5.1

VMWare is at v1.1

My guest OS is NT, SP6a.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for any help.

If you happen to know what an AND/XOR cursor is, does the pointer-is-a-black-square happen if the cursor is supposed to be AND/XOR? If you don't know, possibly try the following line and see if it renders correctly (mouse responsiveness will be a bit worse, so it's not a total solution).

svga.noHWCursor = "TRUE"

Add it to your .vmx file while the VM is powered off; for more details including where to find the .vmx file, see .

Thanks. That seems to have fixed it :smileyhappy:
