As some people might have experienced, if you try using the StockPack or ExpansionPack and Glide Wrapper under NFS 4, the loading cursor will always appear on a static position and doesnt want to go away. The solution is very simple.
Set the compatibility mode setting for the nfshs.exe to Vista SP2, apply, start it, and you'll see: cursor gone.
Why is that so? Well, a guess by mine, many other programs such as ICQ and MSN Messenger wont minimize to the tray area on Win 7 anymore; microsoft seems to have disabled some function for it. The nfshs.exe from the SP should minimize to it after starting, but doesnt - making the cursor hang onscreen. Setting the comp.mode to Vista will solve that on many other programs,too.
