Try re-installing your video card driver (get the latest driver from the manufacturer's website). If that doesn't help, go into system properties (control panel-->system), click the performance tab, click graphics, and move the acceleration setting down to 'most.' This adds the line "SWcursor=1" to the [Display] section of your system.ini, disabling the hardware cursor.

Hope that helps.
