Windows Media Center

Hello

Why does the mouse pointer disappear in Vista / Ultimate / RTM / Windows
Media Center?

Move your mouse and the pointer will reappear.
Do you want to watch TV or a movie with a curser over
the picture?

Even when I move my mouse, the pointer does not appear. Any solution?

Yes - I too have this problem - I have to sort of guess where the pointer is
and once I mouse over an available button or menu item - it reappears only
while I'm hovering over the button. My other Media Center 2005 does not do
this - only Vista RC2 and RTM does.

Possibly a flaw in all the beta video drivers from NVIDIA, or ATI if you are
using that.

Does this also happen when you run the MC in a window or only full screen?

Happens on either. I forget the model - but it's a store bought HP Media
Center 2005 that I load Vista RTM on.

Turn off "Display pointer trails" in "Mouse Propertes - Pointer Options"; the
invisible pointer then returns.

Doesn't fix it for me... I turned them the pointer trails on (previously
had them off) and back off and nothing. Any other ideas?
