For the Safari question, go to the menubar in Safari. Under the Safari name you will find in the drop-down menu Preferences....

In the Preferences pane the very first tab is General. That's where you set your home page.

As for the mouse cursor, you will need a hack to make it different but I am not too savvy with those. Someone else will need to answer that one, I'm afraid.

Take a screenshot of the problem game on your desktop please. I can't get any image in my head with what you posted. I will guide you through this now.

To do a screenshot, just hold the Command (or Apple key) + Shift + 4. Crosshairs will appear. Just drag the crosshairs over what you want to grab as a screenshot.

Now to upload the image here, below every reply window where you type your post there is a Manage Attachmentsbutton. Click on it and through the window that appears, you will need to navigate to the screenshot file you just took, select it. Then click on the Upload button. When the upload of your file is completed, you will see the name appear just below where you clicked to upload it.

You can now close that window, complete your post and we will get to see what you are trying to explain to us.

Good luck! :girl:

It should be on your desktop and it will probably be named Picture 1.png.

Nope the attachment didn't work. I can see only a dot. Try taking another screenshot. This time the file will be named Picture 2.png and you can try the same steps: see if it wasn't only the screenshot that was bad.

To make sure your screenshot is ok, just double-click it, it will open in Apple's Preview application.

Just drag the crosshairs like you are sweeping an area with them. The crosshairs help you determine which area you will take a picture of.

If that method is too complicated, you can try instead Command (or Apple key) + Shift + 3. This will instead take a picture of the whole screen and you can upload that one instead.

You did held down Command key + Shift key + 3 key at the same time? There should be a new image file probably named Picture 3.png, or something similar, on your desktop...

Ok add the attachment now to your next post. This is how to do it:

Now to upload the image here, below every reply window where you type your post there is a Manage Attachments button. Click on it and through the window that appears, you will need to navigate to the screenshot file you just took, select it. Then click on the Upload button. When the upload of your file is completed, you will see the name appear just below where you clicked to upload it.
