You don't say anything about your video type, etc. Some old EGA boards
would make the cursor disappear for unknown reasons after a switch to 
43 lines.  I have written a TSR to prevent this on my Everex board...
Let me know via email if you are interested in the source code.  I make
no guarantees that it will work on any other board
