How to fix glitching mouse cursor

[webfischi]

If you happen to own the parts from the series or recently bought it on WildTangent Games, there will be a glitching cursor with newer hardware and operating systems, because it runs with more than 60 frames a second.

If you already knew that, you may run in to a dead end when trying to force VSync, becaues the game will happily ignore that. If you try using a frame lock, the cursor will still glitch around.

The only way to fix this:
1. Download DXWnd and install it
2. Start App and choose Edit -> Add
3. Choose name and Path
4. Uncheck "Run in Window"
4.1. You can check "Keep aspect ration" if you want to play in 4:3 and your GPU or Monitor don't do that already
5. Press OK and doubleclick the game icon inside of DXWnd

You have to start DXWnd everytime you want to play it

It was a nightmare getting back here, and there are good and bad news to the games.
The good first: In Windows 11 there cursor behaves normally now.
Edit: After further testing, it only worked on my Windows 11 Desktop with RTX 3060 Ti not on my laptop with UHD Graphics 620.

The bad one: If you haven't bought the games on WildTangent yet, you are unable to do so now, but if you have, you can still download and play them.
