Hi
My cursor has disappeared. When I restart my PC, it stays on for a while, but then suddenly (mostly when starting a new application, any app.) it disappears. The cursor itself, the arrow, remains visible, but it gets stuck in one place, doesn't move, but when I drag my mouse, things like links in website do show an underline, buttons get highlighted, meaning the mouse cursor is working fine function wise, but the actual arrow jams at one place, so from then I have to guess the position of the cursor through moving my mouse in all directions and judging by which buttons or links show change.
Its really annoying and very surprising, I've never had this problem before. I've checked for viruses and spyware, deleted them, but the problem remains.
I have two anti-virus/firewalls on at all times, other than Windows own.
I have Windows XP, installed just a month ago, retail version brand new.
Windows XP
MSI MS-6507
Intel P4 2.0 GHz
1GB Ram
GeForce Ti 4600
Maxtor (40 GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA/133)
