>>Robert,
>>We had similar problem especially when Office shortcutbar is on. I had a funny solution maybe helps to you too. In form init create a dummy cursor with a gen field and put a bmp with higher resolution in it. Add that gen field to form, cover with a shape (so not visible - and I used about 5-10% of original size).

Sorry one wrong info there. Dummy image was 256 colors where others ranged from 16 colors to 32 bits true color. So it should work (my app worked on all computers I installed).
