Thank you!

In my case it was the windows classic pointer scheme causing the problem. Would have taken me a long time to think of changing the scheme. Thanks!

common denominator = nvidia driver

Is there anybody on this forum whose PC does NOT have an Nvidia card?
I did some more searching on other forums, including Linux message boards, and found one common theme: everybody who's experiencing this problem has an Nvidia graphics card. There is clearly a bug in one or more of the drivers for Nvidia hardware.
Shouldn't HP be doing something about this? What about a fix from Nvidia?

Not Just NVIDIA Related

I have an Acer M1100 with an ATI video card, mouser pointer disappear act started when I upgrade to a wireless logitec mouse, I 've seem logitec mentioned in a number of post as well, seems to me to be a Vista Issue. Turning of the mouse trails fixed it for me, mind you I only had issues with pointer loss on full screen multimedia apps and google screen saver.

Let me ask this...

Is there anyone who has found a resolution to this problem that did *not* involve turning on/off pointer trails?

Another solution that used to work for me.

This used to work for me, but now that it doesn't, I had to turn on pointer trails this time around.

The other solution is restarting the pointing device. GO TO:

Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse -> Go the 'Device Settings' tab and then click the 'reset devices' with the synaptics pointing device highlighted.

Hope this works for you. It did for me in the past. :]

Video Driver Issue

by hieros1 - 10/20/09 11:19 AM In reply to: My mouse pointer disappears by texasmoldmaker

I think you'll probably all notice that this happens when the CPU is under High load. I had to roll back my video driver to fix it.

Cursor Disappearing

by bazzabushy - 11/12/09 4:35 PM In reply to: Video Driver Issue by hieros1

I still haven't found a solution to this but I notice it happens just after downloading Windows Vista update and after a few days it seems to fix itself but is very annoying whilst it is happening. I think it is caused by something in the Windows update.
