Hi. I'm new to this website, so excuse me if this is not the ideal section for my thread.

For awhile now I've been having a problem with my mouse cursor, rarely, but often enough for it to be annoying, my cursor for seemingly no reason becomes distorted and resembles a bar code. I figured out that if I move it horizontally really fast across the screen, it will either fix this problem, or make it look really weird, I will post a picture to show you what I mean. Once it looks like this, there is not way to fix it unless I reboot.

Anybody know what could be causing this issue? Is it graphics related? because I have had multiple graphics cards, and I have had this issue with all of them.

System specs:
- AMD Phenom II x4 3.6ghz
- 4gb ddr2 1066 g skill ram
- ATI 5770 Graphics card
- Corsair 750w PSU
- Asus M4A785-M motherboard
- Razer mamba mouse
- Pirated Windows 7 (I feel like the pirated version is giving me little bugs here and there, this is what i suspect the most)

Here are some pictures of what my mouse cursor can end up looking like:

No one is going to support you since you said you didn't buy Windows. If you want everything to work correctly then buy a copy.

Sorry I didn't know. As a tech oriented forum on the internet, I assumed file sharing would be accepted.

OK, I just got the legit version of windows... But I still didn't pay for it, I got it for free because the computer science department in my school has lots of free Microsoft software available for students on dreamspark. Will anybody help me now?

So, do you still have a problem?
And no, pirating is generally not accepted here.
