Mouse cursor visual stuck but actually moves?

[Kitrix 5]

When my friend plays in full screen, his cursor visual is stuck in the middle of the screen, but he can still click the options if he just clicks randomly to determine where his pointer actually is. When playing in windowed mode, the cursor visual moves just fine. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? He runs steam as an admin, has the newest version of Windows 8, and uses an AMD 290 GPU.

Copying my own post from another topic:

 

This is usually a problem when your monitor allows you eg. 1920x1080 resolution, but you chose to use higher/lower resolution for the game. Set the ingame resolution as your desktop resolution.

For Windows 7, there is another thing that might fix the mouse problem. If you let your desktop icons being displayed as very large/large, this causes the mouse cursor being weird ingame. Set the symbols as 'normal'. I am confident this solves the problem (as odd as this sounds), as I had the same issues with invisible/weird responding cursors in Men of War Assault Squad, Max Payne 3, Red Orchestra 2 and Sleeping Dogs.

 

Try it via: rightclick on desktop>display> (I am not on a WIN 7 PC right now, but the path is sth like that). 

 

PS: If a mod wants to try this solution, confirm it and post it somewhere else, please do so. I am lacking time today.

 

PPS: I see your friend has WIN 8, I never tried that, but I am confident it has to do with using large desktop symbols rather than normal sized ones. As odd as it sounds...
