Otherwise just restart. :/ I use this solution as well.. I kind of forgot it was even an issue cause I just have the magnifier on all the time now. I love ATI cards but problems like this (and aspect ratio override) make me very sad  | ||

Just throw the mouse into the top right corner of the screen a bunch of times. I just do it maybe 6-7 times and the mouse goes back to normal. The mouse only messed up in-game however. Maybe it will work for you. Let me guess you have your start bar on the top instead of on the bottom. | ||

Go to your Mouse Properties and click the box "Display pointer trails." Just slide the thingy to the left so you can't really tell the difference and you're set :D. | ||

The ATI SC2 Cursor Glitching Thread What is the bug? After playing SC2 for a while, the cursor will begin to glitch out and become fragmented. It is still possible to play with a fragmented cursor, but it is obnoxious more than debilitating. The cursor will stay like this permanently (both in and out of the game) until the computer is restarted. What hardware/software setups cause this bug? The combination of the following seems to trigger this bug: - Having any 5 series ATI Radeon card. - Running Windows 7 64-bit edition. - Having multiple monitors. Why does the glitch happen? It is a bug with the ATI Windows 7 64-bit driver. Will ATI fix the bug in the driver? Perhaps, but at this juncture it seems unlikely. This particular driver bug is not a SC2 specific thing, and it has been occurring in games on Windows 7 64-bit for at least a year or longer. After experiencing this glitch in the beta, I was hoping that the game's massive popularity at release would be a catalyst for ATI to fix the bug. But now, 5 months after release, it seems that that was not the case. What are some potential fixes that suck and/or don't work? 1) Rolling back to driver 9.4/9.10/9.x I tried a few 9 series drivers and it did not fix the problem. 2) Rolling back to driver 10.x I tried a few older 10 series drivers and it did not fix the problem. 3) Use the Windows "Screen Magnifier" and set it to 100% This is a decent workaround to fix the cursor for general OS use if you are too lazy to restart. The caveat of this is that you have to live with the magnifier program constantly living in your taskbar, which personally bugs me. As for SC2, this solution will fix the cursor but it will also lag your cursor significantly, making it terrible solution for playing the game. 4) Enabling cursor trails and setting the trail length to the minimum length Even at the minimum allowable length, cursor trails are completely obnoxious so I deem this a terrible solution. Cursor trails also persist while inside SC2, so this is not really helpful for that either. 5) Combining methods 3 and 4 in various ways Doesn't fix the problem. 6) Move the mouse in a specific way along the edges of the screen Doesn't fix the problem. 7) Disabling extra monitors before playing SC2 Doesn't help, the cursor glitch will still happen. Perhaps if one completely unpluged them then it would help, but I didn't really try that. Besides, that is a terrible fucking solution, since I don't want to have to unplug shit every time I play SC2. 8) Updating to the latest driver For what it is worth, the cursor glitch seems to happen less on the latest drivers, but it still happens. Are there any actual solutions? I recently bought an Active-DisplayPort to DVI adapter so I could use a 3rd monitor in addition to my TV. (If you want to use a 3rd monitor with the Radeon 5 series cards, you HAVE to have one of the monitors use the DisplayPort.) Now that I have three monitors instead of two, I have gone a week without running into the cursor glitch. I'm not sure that it was this exact hardware configuration change that was the catalyst for the disappearance of the bug, so perhaps others can chime in if it works for them too. | ||
