 I just installed NAM and RHM and iv noticed that my cursor in SC4 has messed up, i can no longer see the box thing on the tiles that tells me where what i have selected will be placed,

Its kinda hard to explain like if i had the highway tool selected it would show a white box around 4 tiles, this white box is now gone, anyone else have this problem and know a fix to it?

Thanks

EDIT: 

decided to take a screenshot but it doesent show my cursor but you can see there is no box thing there

it's that little grid tool thing that moves with the cursor that disappeared. I think it's related to the plugins so I am deleting a bunch of them to see if that helps.

edit: I just deleted my gmax and the BAT tool as well... and my grid box is missing >.> i am going to see if i need to delete crap from my temporary folders...

Your cursor will not display in screenshots taken with the in-game camera. A simple limitation of the game, this has nothing to do with your Plugins. If you want the cursor to show up, you must take the picture by pressing print screen on your keyboard and then pasting the image into a program such as Paint.

no no, it's the grid around your cursor in game that helps you to see where you are placing a police station, for example, it's not the blue grid for commercial zone or green for residential, just a grid that moves with your cursor = )

Ah... You mean this...

...the grid squares that show up three or four squares around the cursor? Changing the same setting I mentioned on my previous post, the Visual Effects in the game's Graphics Settings, also seems to turn it on and off (at least for me). Have you tried the game with no plugins? Just rename the original Plugins folder temporarily and create a new 'Plugins' folder. You can change it back after testing. Just a thought...

I had this problem in the past and the only thing that worked for me was to reinstall the game. the graphic settings have nothing to do with it. my cursor seemed to have just disappeared out of nowhere along with the coverage circle when plopping civic bldgs. i thought it might be a plugin affecting it but it wasnt. i reinstalled and got it back and after a few days of playing it was gone again.

I think you're talking about the grid. If you press the "G" Key on your keyboard, you can get that showing again.
