    I don't think you should, VB is lousy for that. Instead, why don't you Hide the mouse cursor with the ShowCursor API. Call it with False as the parameter to hide it, true to show it. Then you can draw your own cursor inside your program (because it is full-screen!). It also allows for 16 million colour mouse pointers and more flexibility.
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)

    Sastraxi is correct. Use DX drawing functions to draw your own cursor.

    OK, I hid the cursor...

    what is the easiest way to "create" my own cursor?

    how do I load a .jpg into direct-x memory?

    I just got it to work using a circle
