When I start up the game the mouse cursor disappears.  How do I fix this?
My PC is running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.   Mass Effect 1 (Steam).

Thanks!

I would guess ME2 isn't playing nice with some sort of customization you have for your mouse cursor. If there's something about it you know you altered, like setting it to a custom icon, try reverting that back. Otherwise, I'd recommend playing around with the settings available in control panel (don't know what it looks like in Windows 7, but in XP there are options like "display trail" and "hide while typing").

Whoops, ME1, not ME2.



Look in your options menu, there should be one for "Input" or somesuch, and one of the options should be "Hardware Mouse." Try switching it on/off to whatever it's not currently set on.

Thank you for your suggestion. I just tried your suggestion and it didn't work. It looks like ME knows it the mouse is there, because I moved the mouse and the buttons changed color I assume because the mouse was over it. The mouse cursor is invisible on the screen. ME 1 was working on my old PC, but that has XP. I have a similar problem with Neverwinter 1 (I just installed yesterday also).

Go into control panel, and have a look at the mouse options. Check to see if the "hide cursor while typing" option is enabled. If so, disable it.

Thanks for your suggestion, Bogsnot1. My mouse isn't set to that. I was finally able to get my mouse to show in Neverwinter1, by having the program windowed. Do either of you know how to run ME windowed? I did a google search, but most links refer to ME2.

Since you chose to avoid discussing hardware, no one knows what to advise you.  Did you see the message thread stickied at the top about how to report problems?

Chris' outline doesn't mention mice, but any mouse driver other than Microsoft's own will be questionable, and any video card driver other than a fairly recent one, the same. 

Basic Hardware Specification Chart (Empty so far)

Processor Manufacturer: AMD / Intel
Processor Name / Type: Athlon 64 / Pentium / C2D / dual core / quad, etc.
Processor Speed:  ?.? Ghz (or AMD Performance Number)
Operating System / Service Pack: WindowsXP with SP #?, Win7, Vista ? (Oh, no!)
System RAM: ? ? GBs (MBs, if less than 1024 ? )
Video (GPU) Manufacturer: ATI / Nvidia (only those two are supported, PERIOD, [b]so please answer which of them you have)
Video Card Model: (examples) Radeon HD 5670 / Geforce GT 240
Video Card Driver Version: Catalyst ?.? / Nforce ??.??
 . . (please use the numbers, not the word "latest")
Video Card onboard RAM: ? ? ? MBs [/b]
Sound Card Manufacturer:
Sound Card Model:

(And this is only for the raw hardware & driver variations.  Potential software conflicts are far more likely to be game play problems, and developers cannot test for all possible program loads.)

P. S.  Please use every day business style paragraph breaks, punctuation, and spelling.

I will look at my mouse driver. In the meantime, running ME in windowed mode seems to have fixed that problem. Thank for everyone's suggestions.

[Bogsnot1]

If it works fine in windowed mode, then i would guess that there is an app running in the background that wants to grab control of the mouse for some reason. Are you running fraps or anything else in the background while you play?

I had the exact opposite; namely the mouse cursor would not go away (only on Windows 7). An update of the graphics drivers has since fixed this. Pretty sure the mouse driver is a red herring here; I believe it will be a driver/directx interaction.
