eshaan Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 My Cursor keeps flickering in the game. Is there any solution to resolve this? I cant even get windowed mode running so besides that is there any option? Help would be appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Update your graphics drivers, make sure the game is patched and install the directx SDK from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshaan Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yup all that is done but it still flickers. Is it because my video card is extremely poor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I wouldn't think so, my video card is fairly poor (can't run 3D) but I don't get this problem. I'm not sure though. Was the mouse flickering before you patched the game or did you just start playing now after applying the patches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richjb78 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 If your running on vista try this: Go to control panel select hardware and sound click the mouse heading and select pointer options UNclick display pointer trails That might do it for you mate.

richjb78 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 is your windowed mode greyed out and did you install via steam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Ultimate_Red_Devil Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I cant even get windowed mode running What happens if you start FM 09, click Preferences (bottom right hand corner, picture of a spanner/wrench next to it), then click Display & Sound (right hand side) then change the display mode to Windowed (top left)?

ahmufcwafc Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Have you tried getting windowed mode by using this method: 1. Right click on the FM09 icon on your desktop & click properties. 2. In the target field, add "-windowed -small_screen" at the end of the target, with a space between the target & "-windowed -small_screen" & obviously no quotation marks. 3. Click ok & you should be able to play in windowed mode next time you run FM09 -------------------- Also, you should probably have FM09 off when doing this.
