Cursor Problems

[Spunky2000ca]

What gets me is that it only seems to happen in the gameplay mode, not when the editor is active. Also, I am currently operating on Windows ME, and I have recently bought a GeForce 2 (as stated earlier). The only thing I can think of is that my system cannot handle the GeForce, due to my processor only being about 500 mhz, but I don't fully believe that, because I have run games such as Starsiege Tribes, HalfLife, and other 3-Dimensional games, and the speed and quality has been improved.

Do you have the drivers for that installed? I think when you buy geforce it comes with a installer disk so you can edit your graphic options.

You should also update to the newest DirectX here, After you do that and restart go to Program Files/DirectX/Setup/ and there will be a shortcut named DxDiag. Open it up and test all your settings in it.

not flaming you.

Just saying that halflife will most likely run on any machine, It was made back in 1995 Its still a top 10 game after 5 years, lol. That game will always be the best fps in my book. The mods will keep getting better and better.

Half life is not from 95
You cannot play it in window mode
and switching to another program is not
recommended (will mess up the
server list screen etc.). So the
compatibility is more made by limiting
the features. I bet we would also have
less problems with gfx cards and
stuff in Graal if there would only be the fullscreen
mode and no window mode.

The cursor can be a problem because normally
DirectX hides the cursor (because it's made for
games not for editors), so I need to show the
cursor again, which can make problems (may
be when setting the cursor it has a problem on
your computer and hides the thing :/ )

yea, yea so I was wrong.. It was 1998. You can still use it on almost any system! That was what I was trying to get at
