Picking a Device that works, but then my SF10 Cursor then disappears

What causes this ??? ...and I've heard this from other Sound Forge Users too. I'm now running Windows 10 but this occured also when my desktop was Windows 7. When I select what I think is the best audio device...it works and sounds great, BUT then I realize that with this particular sound device selected...my Sound Forge 10 Cursor now disappears in the Edit window. C'mon what gives ?? When I hit Play, the cursor disappears. and it only returns when I then hit STOP. My Interface is an older Digidesign MBox 2. When this happens, it renders Sound Forge pretty much useless. What is causing this ? and how can I fix it? Love My Sound Forge but it seems so finicky when your trying to select a good audio device....Now if I'm not mistaken.. I read somewhere long ago that there was an 'old' fix to this with an older driver....... does anyone know anything more?

@DeeB2025 Is your interface compatible with Windows 10? Is there a current ASIO driver available for it?

Have you tried the trial version of SF18? Does it make a difference?

Regarding the old fix, I could only find the information to use another driver, maybe ASIO4ALL.

The only 'setting' I can think of that would 'hide' the cursor would be in the "Show the position of the playback cursor" in 'Options> Preferences> General'. Otherwise I do not recall encountering the 'cursor' issue in any version.
