Unfortunetely I cannot go back to Gold 2.5 after installing SAGA1.0 Driver with Gold 2.7. As my Internet Connection does not work with Gold 2.7 and my plipbox on the parallelport, I decided to downgrade, however the mousepointer is not available anymore...please help!! It does not help either, when downgrading with SAGA 0.13 or 0.10....the mouse pointer does not appear!!

Very simple.
Hold SHIFT pressed during BOOT and your WB will launch on PAL with the good old Amiga Mouse pointer.

No need to delete at all.

Go to /devs/monitors/.. and open the icon tooltypes of the driver
There is an entry SoftSprite set it to YES

Thank you Gunnar. Second way would be to delete all Vampire related items and then installing the SAGA Driver 0.13 new under the Pal Version..Puh...do you have a clue, why the plipbox does not work under 2.7?

No no.
Setting the tooltype makes much more sense. :-)
