Um, since you used a virtual machine you should have used win98 and not winXP, since win98 is the system Torment was made for.

I'll keep it in mind *jokingly*

Well, actually, I fought there is no win98 for Windows 7, so I tried using winXP, but it seems I've been mistaken (just found win98 for win7).

Maybe I should try using Windos XP mode (Microsoft Virtual PC).

This doesn't seem to work. Torment doesn't even start, it shows an error message.

The cursor problem remains, but it doesn't appear on playing screen, only in option screen, main menu, character screen, etc.

nv_ddraw_fix doesn't help. i'm using gtx 260 videocard, it seems that it works only with 8xxx series.

Hi, i'm sorry for my english.

I found a post here.

This is a way to emulate DDraw through Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. You can download it here.

Below is the post i found:

[I downloaded Application Compatibility Toolkit"

After installing the program, open "Compatibility Administrator" (should be under the new start menu shortcut "Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0")

I then pressed "New" and then right clicked on the newly created database and choose "Create New" and "Application Fix"

Name it whatever you want, and then locate the program file: "torment.exe" wherever it is on your HD. Click Next and choose one of the operating system compatibility modes if you wish; I chose "none." On the next page scroll down to "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" and check it. Click finish.

Now go up to "torment.exe" on the top right and right click to "Run Program"]
