Do any other users experiece difficulty with the user interface. When I move my mouse around the screen I can't see the pointer arrow. I spend a lot of time moving the mouse around trying to get to the menus and icons. Can anyone tell me how to fix that, or is it something with my graphics set-up, or something you all just live with.

Hi
Sounds like hardware problems.
Try this:-
If you are using 'Open GL' switch to 'DirectX' or vice-versa.
If it works in DirectX then its probably your graphics driver.
If you have downloaded the latest driver it could be this causing the problem. Revert to the last driver used and try this.
Of course, if you haven't got the latest driver, download and try the program again.
Note:- If you are using an ATI card, make sure you use the add/remove program and remove all ATI entries before installing the new set-up, and download the complete package from ATI.
Cheers
Pete.

You are obviously one who is well respected on this site. 92 people read my query, but all thought that your reply should be the last word!
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. If I might, I wonder how would I find out if I am using open GL or DirectX. What are they? I am using an ATI card.
I'll poke around a bit myself, but am afraid that I could do some damage.

I have been helping out another user with very similar problems. Take a look at the thread below, I'm sure you will find a lot of answers there to your problems.
Excuse my laziness, it saves me typing out the same info again

problem with track in surveyor and driver I hope you find these useful, as they also deal with ATI and Graphics.
Of course, you can always get back to me and others here.

There's one other thing that you may want to try if you haven't got the problem solved yet. If you know or can find out exactly what motherboard your pc is using, you should be able to go to the manufacturer's website for that motherboard and download the latest *chipset drivers*. That solved a problem that I had when I installed my current ATI card.
