Hi all,

When running Fallout 1 or 2 for OS X, a mouse pointer appears and remains on screen, in a fixed position. It is not the main pointer, that one works fine, and tha game is playable.

However, this arrow, or pointer, is drawn on screen with a black "box" background, and looks ugly. I´ve Googled around for fixes and similar problems but found nought.

Any ideas?

I had this same problem in Panther, now running Tiger.

I think this bug was down to some QT plug in? I and others had the same problem, but it went of its own accord. I must have updated something that fixed it I guess.
Sorry for being so vague! Check any QT extra's you may have installed..
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

It's older versions of DivX that are doing it. Uninstall that and yer gold.
