There are two requirements for animated cursors in Windows 95:
 
 - Protected-mode (32 bit) disk drivers
 
 - A Windows 95-compatible display driver that meets certain spec's
(some that are *incompatible* include ATI Ultra, Diamond Viper, and the
standard VGA and Super VGA drivers) - make sure that you're running a
custom driver (not the standard VGA one) for your hardware.  there's
probably more information in the Microsoft knowledge base.

 microsoft also notes that certain boot-sector viruses can prevent
animated cursors from working so a virus scan is always a good idea.
