Hi Marcel, This fast curser blink sounds like the same problem that I get running QPC under XP in a virtual Windows machine in OS-X. At times, the cursor goes nuts while other times it slows down to a reasonable speed.
I also notice that when I move the cursor around the CPU pegs out at maximum usage - and it is a pretty powerful CPU. jim On Jan 6, 2008, at 7:54 PM, Marcel Kilgus wrote: > Norman Dunbar wrote: >>> OK, so get 0.9.52 >> Version 0.9.52 obtained and installed.
