Mouse pointer oddity

by Shane DeRidder · in Constructor · 05/16/2008 (7:52 pm) · 2 replies

I haven't had any luck searching for a solution to this. So, here's my problem. While in Constructor, my mouse pointer representation is lower than the actual hot spot of the pointer itself. So, to click on a button, draw a rubberband box, or choose a tool, I have to position the pointer a good 20 pixels or so below were I want to click.

I've done a clean install of Constructor. I've tried both the original 1.0.3 and the new 1.0.4 version. This is on Vista 32-bit w/SP1 installed. Anyone have any suggestions? Very bizarre.

Make sure that you aren't using Aero.

Well I'll be. The pointer is normal if I disable Aero. What's interesting is that my laptop (Alienware), which also runs Vista, does not experience the same mouse pointer misalignment.

I can handle disabling Aero.. :)
