Technology Problems

[Always_Remain]

Hey Escapists, being the wise man I am, I took up Valve's offer. I downloaded Portal free and I was super excited to play it! But then I couldn't because my mouse is invisible. D: If I actually start the game I having the aiming cross hair but I can't change the settings because I have no idea where my mouse is. (I'm on Windows 7 btw)

So any suggestions/help?

SORRY ABOUT ALL THE GRAMMAR MISTAKES. I just really want a solution.

Get some solvent and wipe the invisible ink off your mouse.

Control panel -> Printers and other hardware -> Mouse -> Pointer options -> click the option to use CTRL to locate the mouse. That's the best I've got for you, I'm still using XP and don't know Win7 at all.

That's what I first tried. Didn't work Thanks though.

This problem has been fixed. It's because I had mouse trails on.

It appears to be related to graphic drivers. If not, try compatibility mode.

EDIT: Also try running it in windowed mode.

Oh well, at least someone else knew exactly what you needed to fix it.
