I found this post:

As far as I know this works in XP, I know there's a similar function in RedHat, but I don't know about other operating systems.

In XP if you go to the control panel for the mouse you'll find an option under the "pointer options" tab that allows you to see the location of the mouse when you press the ctrl key. It wo't work if you run in full screen mode, but if you run in windowed mode it'll draw concentric circles which should be visible around the mouse cursor.

This is still a bit of a pain since it takes me a good couple of minutes just to buy cargo, so for me it's not really worth the trouble to play the game.

But considering the number of ATI card users out there I would hope the developers find some way around this problem seeing as how this looks like a very good game.

P.S. The Hardware Mouse option doesn't seem to make any difference.

Maybe this helps. Do you have an ATI Card?
