I'm trying to use SDL 1.2 for specific reasons, and I read the docs that in SDL 1.2, you can disable that default monochrome cursor that starts when you start SDL, but for some odd reason, Windows or SDL fails to redraw the cursor when I first launch the application. Resulting in an loading cursor that never changes. It only becomes normal once I move my cursor out of the window then put it back in again.

// Initializes SDL and all its subcomponents required for this program.
// Returns 1 if something fails.
int graphicsInit()
{
    // Init SDL
    if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO) == -1) 
    { 
        // Show Error if SDL fails to initialize.
        std::cerr << "Could not initialize SDL: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    // Init SDL_image.
    int imgFlags = IMG_INIT_PNG;
    if (!(IMG_Init(imgFlags) & imgFlags)) 
    {
        // Show Error if SDL_image & SDL_image's png fails to initialize.
        std::cerr << "IMG_Init Error: " << IMG_GetError() << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    // Disables the default monochrome cursor.
    SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_DISABLE);

    // Set Video Mode.
    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(config_screenPreferredWidth, config_screenPreferredHeight, config_screenPreferredColorQuality, SDL_SWSURFACE);
    if (screen == NULL) 
    {
        // Show Error if SDL fails to set Video Mode.
        std::cerr << "Couldn't set video mode: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    // Set the window title
    SDL_WM_SetCaption("Test_Application", "test");
    // Display the menu.
    displayMenu(screen);
    return 0;
}

Yeah, any time someone claims to have "reasons" to do something weird, I'm immediately sus 😛

upper viper

is this windows vista?

#

not look like it

and not look like 7

And generally, these old operating systems are designed for weak computers, so I'd learn a lot of how to optimize C++ along the way
