Mouse Curser going invisibile

Recently I bought a 2nd monitor and hooked it up.

I play DAOC on Full windowed (same as before).

Every 30min - 1hr something happens which I have been unable to replicate / figure out the trigger where my mouse cursor goes invisible. (No its not on the other monitor). If I alt tab I can see a blurred mouse pointer icon instead of the usual one on my desktop and use it, however once I come back in-game even that is gone.

I can still move my invisible cursor around and click on mobs/spells and such.

Even if I relog, it does not come back until I reboot my computer.

Anyone have a possible idea/solution? Please help, it makes this game hard playing blind

Do both screens run in the same resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate?

Did you reinstall the GPU driver after plugging in the 2nd screen?
Please select "clean installation" (=uninstall previous) on de-/installation so Windows and the driver will fully re-initialize the screen setup on reboot.

The latter part (reinitialize screen setup) can be force with 3rd party software too, like 'CRU' as Windows is not doing it automatically:

In case you have software installed that is somehow modifying the cursor, disable or reinstall it too.
You may also un-/check the hardware acceleration in the mouse settings of Windows and/or run Phoenix in compatibility mode to an older OS version to see if that has an effect.
