I am playing Age of Empires on Windows 8, through my Mac with Parallels, and I am thinking that it is either a problem with Windows 8 or Parallels because it didn't happen on my home computer running Windows 7. Any advice? I'm using a MacBook with Retina display 15in and Parallels 8, running Windows 8.

Some games I play on the PC offer "Custom Cursor" settings, which for some reason always hides my mouse. I have to go into options and turn it off. It's a pain, because the cursor is invisible, and you have to watch for buttons to change slightly most of the time. |

you sure the mouse isn't just flickering real fast, either way, could be your graphics card/drivers?, my computer is Windows 7 and when i load the game up the main menu is really screwy and when i play a map, some things in the map have weird pink pixels around them, it's the reason why i've stopped playing it and got Age of Empires 3 cause it works slightly better (apart from the fact that when i complete all objectives it doesn't end the mission, sometimes have to leave the game running for an hour before the flag is detected) |

Try right-clicking the game start up icon and selecting properties. In the 'Target' box you get the string that launches the game. Immediately after that type the word normalmouse and press apply. Try it then. |
