I am not able to play Daggerfall in windowed mode because the cursor does not switch to the game. That is, once the Daggerfall start window appears, the windows cursor remains and is moved by the mouse, while the ingame cursor remains static in the upper left corner of the game window. See the attached screen shot. I have tried this on two very different 64 bit Win 7 systems and with many different DOSBox window parameters. The game works fine in full screen mode.

I asked about this a couple of weeks ago and received several replies. One tried to convince me that I should only play in full screen mode. Al least one other suggested a particular key combination that would switch the active cursor to the ingame one. I don't remember that key combination so came back to this forum to read the reply again. Surprisingly, all traces of my original post and its replies have vanished! When I search for my posts, I get a message "Sorry, but you haven't posted in the forums recently...". I don't think I'm crazy, but how does a crazy person tell?

So, I'll ask again. Does anyone know how to activate the ingame cursor in Daggerfall when in windowed mode?

PLEASE DISREGARD: ALTHOUGH THE PREVIOUS QUERY AND RESPONSES DO NOT SHOW WHEN I SEARCH FOR PREVIOUS POSTS, SEARCHING My Questions DOES. THE KEY COMBINATION IS Ctrl-F10.

Glad you found the solution. It's a great game. In my opinion better than any future installments.
Thank you very much for updating and sharing your solution.
