Created 64x64 cursor but does not even work on win98

I think there is a registry edit needed here but I am not sure to fix this problem. The cursor shows up on xp but not on win98. Does anyone know what is going on?

I didnt think *any* version of windows supported icons of that size. I know XP can use 48x48 icons.

I am sorry divil, I meant to say cursor not icon.

A 64x64 cursor?

 

[aewarnick]

yup. Works in xp but not 98.

WinXP supports some monstrous cursors and icons (The limit is either 64*64 or 128*128, I believe). Still no PNG icons, though.

Win98, on the other hand, doesnt. I dont think a base install of Win98 can handle 48*48 or 64*64 icons/cursors, but there may be some MS power tools available to give it this functionality.

Now the obligatory question: Why do you want a 64*64 cursor?

 

[aewarnick]

It has writing on it that I want the user to be able to read.

Im pretty sure Win98 doesnt support icons or cursors over 32x32 pixels.

I think you are right.
