Hi Xehenort – The missing mouse cursor issue is often caused by having mouse pointer trails enabled. Please follow these instructions to disabled the pointer trails.

1. Click on the Windows start button.

2. Select ‘Control Panel’.

3. For Windows XP: Double-click on the Mouse icon.

For Windows 7 and Vista: Click on ‘Hardware and Sound’ then select ‘Mouse’.

4. Go to the ‘Pointer Options’ tab and look for the ‘Visibility’ section.

5. In the ‘Visibility’ section, un-check the box next to ‘Display pointer trails’.

6. Click on OK.

Once you’ve done this, try running Guild Wars 2 again.
