Mouse Cursor corruption

Cavallino · 4 Dec 2013 at 00:42

I am getting a similar corrupted mouse cusor like in this video.

Anyone seen the same?

Apparently you can reproduce this by moving your mouse close to the corner of the monitor, dragging to the bottom, flicking across to the next screen and bringing the mouse back into view on the next screen.

But its very annoying that it seems to happen randomly. Has anyone come across any fixes for this (or indeed come across this issue themselves)?

Thanks very much.

It happens to me all the ****** time.

I fix it my moving my mouse like a lunatic all over the screen (especially going to the edges)

Usually fixes it

I usually get it when i tab out from BF4, i usual tab back to a couple of random pages. I think if i also go into screen resolution, set it from extended to mirrored, then reject the change it works.

Ok good to hear Im not the only one, thanks for confirming folks.

Would be nice to know what GFX cards you guys got? It seems to be associated with AMD cards as opposed to Nvidia.

Also one way of getting rid of it is apparently maximising a window and moving your cursor to the top right corner (where the X close button is), hover over it, and then move the mouse again, this brings back the cusor back to normal.

I have a gigabyte 7950 and a MSI 7950. I thought it may be dodgy clocks, but they run fine in benchmarks.

Sneaky Edit: Im running windows 7 and am on the latest CCC beta driver

I see, thanks.

I have 2 X 280Xs over here.

The reason I asked about COH is, I've only ever had the problem after playing that game, seems its not limited to COH tho. Also on AMD cards.

i have experienced this as well, but its not very often.

during a few games Wow and hero's of newerth come to mind.

AMD GPU

Thanks all.
Glad to see Im not the only one. You wouldve thought AMD wouldve addressed this.

By the way - mouse POINTER, not cursor.
Cursor is something blinking (for example) in the command line.

I used to get this all the time with various AMD cards, I always though it was tied to multiple monitors, I don't seem to get it now that I use a single monitor.

I believe you are right there. Since I too came from single monitor to dual to triple.
On the single/dual setup it was my old rig.
On the triple, its the new rig.

The dual and triple setups both exhibited the same phenomenon despite two different rigs.
