Has anyone been able to use the ShowCursor command in the PsychToolbox on a Windows (XP) platform?&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I am not able to change the type of cursor and for some reason, I always get an hourglass icon as the cursor type.

&nbsp;

Any advice or hints will be greatly appreciated.

&nbsp;

Thanks,

&nbsp;

Joyce
