Is there a way to change the on screen cursor shape of the eraser tool in Photo Paint X8?

Is there a way to change the on screen cursor shape of the eraser tool in Photo Paint X8? I know I can change the nib shape, but the actual cursor that moves on the screen is shaped like an eraser and I can't see the bounding edges of the size and shape I'm erasing. It used to visibly show as a circle or a square etc. Now I can't really tell how close the area I'm about to erase is to the edge of something.
