    Has anyone else had problems with their mouse curser randomly getting corrupted? I generally get a fuzzy square and a line with diagonal slashes on it.

    I have updated to the latest Vbios and drivers for graphics, which fixed all the other problems apart from this. Any hel appreciated

    Does this happen with the touchpad, external mouse, or both? If it happens with the touchpad, try disabling in BIOS and using external mouse. If this fixes it install the latest touhpad drivers Also check mouse in control panel, try scheme NONE.

    Ive had it "corrupt" during an external mouse use, I use an AIMON PS mouse/nunchuck to game with and when I was originally tinkering with it it messed up a few times for me. Generally happens if im in a game then go back to desktop alot it will mess up, a quick reset for me fixes it. Also I found updating GPU Drive to the most current amd has out helped alot .

    This smells like the Starcraft 2 bug to me and this ‘bug’ has been around for a long time. Apparently it’s an ATI driver problem but I am not sure. There are a couple of things you can try to solve/cure it tho. If it happens while in the game try throwing your cursor in the top right or bottom right corner a few times in quick succession. Or, and I have read this but have not tried it myself, Go to your Mouse Properties in Controlpanel and click the box "Display pointer trails." And then just slide the thingy to the left so you can't really tell the difference. Going to try that last one myself tomorrow.

    Good luck.

    I used to have this with the old vbios, but it may have been driver related IDK, (not playing Starcraft BTW)
