mouse pointer doesn't appear in dos game under XP

[shicaeon]

Hi all,

i've just installed a dos game to the computer and trying to run the game in Windows XP... it appeared that the game is working fine but i can't find my mouse pointer in the game (the game required mouse as the controller)... i assumed that the mouse should be working correctly because when I randomly clicked the mouse, it did do some commands.... just that the mouse pointer cannot be seen.... so is it the problem with the mouse driver?? what can i do??

thanks all first!!!!
