Disappearing pointer!!!
Is this problem new??? When my computer is idle for an
hour or longer the pointer disappears and never returns. When I move the mouse you can see that the invisible pointer is highlighting icons and links when you do a mouse over of those areas. I then have trouble spending a lot of time trying to shut down the computer trying to find where the buttons are to click on. How can this be fixed? Do I need to reinstall something? Your help would be much appreciated. Also, where can I go for help other than this place the next time? Thanks for anyone's help on this troubling matter. |

The content varies depending if extra software is installed e.g Intellimouse. Under Pointer Options there may be an option to Hide Pointer while typing. Turn this off. Also changing the pointer shceme back to the default may help. Peter Hutchison Windows FAQ http://www.pcguru.plus.com/winfaqs.html |
