Well, if you used the "Empty Game" template instead of the "Default" one, it is possible that you don't actually have a cursor graphic defined.
Go to the "Cursors" tab and see if you have any cursor images loaded. If you do, start a new game using the default template, load the room in that game and see if you have a cursor there.

So, to solve this problem either draw some cursor graphics and import them in the "Cursors" tab, or use the default template.

Make sure you haven't accidently created a command for hide mouse cursor.

And additionally, have you tried playing any AGS games? Did you see the mouse cursor there?

If you didn't, then it could be a good idea to upgrade DirectX and your video card drivers to the latest version available.
