I have a lot of trouble seeing the mouse pointer on my 17" MBP running at the high resolution.
Is there some way to make the cursor bigger so that it's easier to see on the screen?
In Windows the mouse options allow for changes of cursor styles and sizes, but I can't find any option to change the size of the mouse cursor.
Thanks for any advice.
 
I just got this reply in another forum that solved the problem.

System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse
You'll find a setting to increase the size of the pointer there
 
Thanks! I had been fumbling around in System Preferences, but Universal Access wasn't anywhere I would have checked.

My monitor is also a TV, so sometimes I watch TV from across the room, but check the computer during commercials and the cursor was too small to see from that far away.
Now it's so big that I'm almost frightened.
