Control Panel>>Hardware and Sound>>Mouse>>Pointer Options>>

Either you check: "Display Pointer Trails" or you check: "Show Location of
Pointer when I press CTRL key" or both

You may also benefit from changing the appearance of your cursor in
different settings.

Check Pointers Tab and go down to Select, Click Browse, select the pointer
you want. I suggest "dinosaur" and double click on it.
