Here is the only answer that anybody has come up with: >You can hold down the Ctrl key to find the cursor occasionally, but the "cursor hiding in gray" problem has been defined as a Microsoft problem and it's not fixable.

I guess he means that he changes the whole photo a different color, but that would mean converting to RGB from grayscale. Surely there is an easier answer to this. Supposedly there is a program called DirectCursors which allows you to change the contrast of the cursor but not the color. The program is supposed to be Mac only, but I can't find it with a search on the internet. If you find a solution, let me know. It is very annoying.
