I've had some problems with BC++, too.  I have no problems with the mouse 
cursor disappearing unless I shell out to DOS.  Once I return from the shell I 
have no cursor.  You can just use Repaint Desktop to get it back so that isn't 
too big a problem as I don't spend a lot of time in the DOS shell.  People have 
suggested that I may just have an older mouse driver but I think that the 
people with those suggestions haven't shelled out to DOS |^{).  Another problem 
I have found in dealing with the DOS shell is
that it craps out if you do a fair amount of jumping between it and the IDE 
(Protected mode error of some kind).
