Hey! When i am in fullscreen my mouse cursor becomes "invisible" and I am unable to see where I place it. The normal cursor "hand" is stuck in the middle and won't follow me. When i got into windowed mode this problem is solved, but i really don't want to play in windowed mode. Can anyone please please Help me with this issue?

Apoxy,

If you are able to navigate through the in-game menu, open the video options and uncheck the box labeled 'Hardware Cursor' on the Resolution tab and click Okay.

If you are unable to navigate through the in-game menu, follow the steps below:

Exit completely out of World of Warcraft. You can use ALT-F4 to do this if the cursor problem prevents you from doing so normally.

Once you are out of the game:
- Open the World of Warcraft folder on your hard drive (Default Folder: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft or C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft for Vista/7 users).
- In there, open the "WTF" folder.
- Open the "config.wtf" file. Use WordPad to open it if you are prompted to choose a program.

In the Config.wtf file, make sure the following line appears, including the quote marks:

SET gxCursor "0"

You may have to add this line manually. After you are sure that line is appearing properly, please save and close the Config.wtf file. Now try the game, and your cursor should be showing up properly.
