Hello,
When I run EmacsW32 (unpatched, emacs-from-cvs-070125.zip) the cursor is
always a vertical bar, 1 pixel wide, and can't be changed at all from
this type no matter what I try.
For example, trying to change it to the box doesn't work:
(set-frame-parameter nil 'cursor-type 'box)
This also does nothing:
(setq cursor-type 'box)
What's more, when I test this EmacsW32 release on other Windows XP
machines, this problem goes away.
Somehow my Windows XP is configured or patched or whatever to override
Emacs' cursor, or something like that.
I have no idea what this could be and cannot stand this almost invisible
vertical bar cursor. Any clues?
The standard answer: Start Emacs with
emacs -Q
That will avoid running your .emacs. There might be something there that
explains what happens.
