Mouse cursor corruption

hi i have 2 amiga 1200's. 1 has a 1260 accelerator other a 030.
im having problems with the 1260 1200 in that in some games(lure of the temptress, day of the tentacle) the mouse cursor has anomalies.

for example in dott its fine if i keep the cusor in the play screen, but if i move it to the top into the black of the screen it has what appears to be silhouettes of the cursor in a direct line down from the actual cursor.

in lure same thing but in white cause the cursors white , it also does this in the desktop when i open a folder,ect (ie more cursors in a staight line under main cursor)

im thinking it maybe a software problem?? im running os 3.9 with all bbags installed, latest 060 libs. it doesnt seem to do it in fears(mouse cursor on title screen),eye of the beholder, indy fate of atlantis.

other than this everything else seems fine, no lockups, no other wierd graphic corruption. any ideas on this??

Are you running OxyPatcher, may help, may not if your not doing so already as they are not games I own or have played.

Just an idea if I remember correct from running JST HD Installed Cannon Fodder.
If you go to Pointer Prefs try using a Low Res mouse pointer before loading the games, this might help if your currently using a High Res pointer.

Cool, glad to hear you have the result you were looking for. Always pays to have spares and repairs and that you did! Nice one. Very Happy
