how bout your mouse drivers?
what mouse do you use. I used to have this problem with my kensington mouse before i installed their drivers and not the standart windows ones
I really don't think it's the mouse driver at fault.
I'm experiencing exactly the same problems, although I sometimes can't even load up an ongoing game without the pointer going AWOL - and sometimes it goes after a couple of turns.
To clarify the problem. A pointer is still visible on the screen, but it is non moving. But the system is still tracking the mouse as features still work as normal (highlighted buttons, the screen scrolling).
To add insult to injury, the pointer will change while the system is busy with the AI (so it's not totally static). The damned thing just won't move.
once I have escaped back into my desktop, the windows cursor has also vanished. although again, something is still tracking, highlighting icons and buttons. And it's a case of switch off and restart.
I have tried uninstalling/ reinstalling Civ (fixed an annoying glitch in the wonder movies

, but not the mouse. Sigh!)
I have updated the driver for my video card (Geforce 5500), and updated to build v152.
I think it might be a memory problem as I have exited into windows and found my memory down to 6% (of 1Gb)

. So I turned down all the video setting to low, Still no joy!!!
So I'm Kinda out of ideas, anybody got any suggestions?
