I'd like to run Eve on my laptop. May be graphic engine challenged.

Problem - I get no cursor. Can I reset the graphics controls (is it possible) to hopefully generate a cursor.

Very rough to play without cursor.

Any ideas?

Might help if you also post the specs of the laptop in question, so we might spot where the issue can be if it's hardware related.

I'm running a Dell Latitude w/ W7 SP1 i7 processor 2.4 GH
I believe it is running a Nvidia MNVS4200

Dell still makes those PC favored by corporate IT, especially those in Round Rock Texas. Go figure.

Obviously not optimal but should be fine.

Things to try:
Put all setting on low
make sure graphics drivers are up to date
change directX settings in the launcher
change to windowed mode

You're really asking for it....

Running on a DELL notebook is not recommended.
They usually do not withstand the force of feet stomping onto them.

Suggestion: Use an external mouse with proper driver and report back.
