Morpheus and Virtual PC 2007 in Win7 64bit
Hi there. I recently got “Morpheus” from e-bay after having heard many good things about the game and decided to try running it in my windows 7 64bit system through Virtual PC 2007 with Windows 95. I managed the set my virtual machine without any problems and the game installed without hiccups. I then installed the required version of Quicktime (version 3.0) and tried to run the game. However although the game does start, the cursor flickers like crazy whenever there is any sort of movement in the background and sometimes even becomes completely invisible, making it impossible to proceed. Does anyone have any idea what is the cause of that? 
I also tried the game on a Windows XP laptop and it started on Win95 combatibiity mode without trouble and a perfectly normal cursor, though I have no idea how stable it is there. When I loaded a similar virtual machine to the laptop (VirtualPC+Win95), I came across the very same problem with the flickering cursor. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Are you running the Virtual machine FullScreen? If not, you should try that.
Since you have apparently had more success under Windows XP + Compatibility mode, you could also try running Windows XP on the Virtual PC instead, and use it’s compatibility mode.
Also check the VPC’s settings for anything cursor-related.
Lastly, if none of the above works, you might want to try the setups under VirtualBox or VMWare, altough i have had much better performances running Win98 in MS VPC.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
