By cursor I mean any shape outline when using things like brush, blur, erase. If the cursor size is very small, say less that 60 pixels, the whole shape is visible. Let’s just say it’s a circle, if it get’s any bigger it starts to disappear as the size goes up. All that will be left is a small line showing the very top left of the circle.

This is a nuisance, especially for custom brushes where I can’t see where the brush will be placed.

What can I do about this?

Yeah, sorry just after I posted this I looked it up and realized it was the graphics card.

The problem is Dell doesn’t release new drivers for my laptop model, which I don’t think is suited for CS4, although it can certainly handle it.

Yes, this can be a show-stopper for many laptop owners. Laptops frequently have tweaked hardware that will not accept straight NVidia or ATI drivers.
