Has anybody had problems with the mouse when you try to go to the campaign game? My mouse just disappears when I lock into the Dosbox and if I get lucky and hit something like "File," it will drop down a menu. In other words, the mouse is there, I just can't see it.

Everything works fine in the scenarios, it is just the campaign game that the mouse disappears.

I am using PC Speakers.

Not sure of video mode except for 800x600 High Color 16-bit.

I have read the README but I found nothing that addresses the problem.

Please help...and thanks.

Dosbox doesn't draw the mouse cursor when in SVGA mode (does GNB use VESA modes?) and using the mouse driver's software cursor. My Hq2x patch fixes that (it's the int 10 pixel drawing routines that didn't support VESA), but as I've been told the patch is not really usable on windows yet - currently trying to fix that.

Thanks, Moe. I do believe that GNBNA uses VESA mode because I remember a time when I specifically went to buy a VESA card to try and get it to run under Win98. It is just funny that I can get it to run a scenario just fine but it won't work in the campaign. Thanks for the info.
