| | Lost cursor in media center Hi, I have a problem in that whenever I open windows media center The cursor disappears. It seems as though it is there but invisible, as when I move the mouse around icons will light up and activate if I click on them. the problem has just occurred and was previously okay. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem and could anyone offer some advice on how to rectify the problem. Cheers....pjan6709 |

| | Same problem, no cure (yet). Until SP1 when M$ may fix this consider using Media Centre on a seperate monitor through S-Video (if you have it) with a remote control. I have an Emprex 3000 remote, excellent piece of kit. Alternatively, try this:- The Maxifier |

| | If you're in full screen mode, press Esc button ...does that bring the cursor back? |

| | Have you tried turning off pointer trails? I am now using Windows 7 but had the same problem in vista. Turning off pointer trails worked for me in vista. |

| | Hi, Thanks, Qdos jacee & larry D for your quick response, I did try both and neither worked. However on opening media center this morning I find the cursor had mysteriously reappeared. Windows did an update during the night maybe that did the trick. Anyway, thanks again everyone for your help. Cheers |

| | See whether hitting the Windows button on your keyboard does anything, it seems to temporarily give me some cursor control - well, sometimes at least! On my setup I'm using two monitors. I'm going to set Media Centre to run on an S-Video cable and control it uniquely with a remote control handset, but it's a sure indication that we're still BETA testing the OS in truth, eh?  |

| | Hi Qdos, I didn't try hitting the windows button but I will if it happens again. Maybe I did by mistake and that's what's fixed the problem. Thanks again. |

| | Same Problem My cursor also disappears in Windows Media Center. It does this on my DeskTop and my LapTop. Not so much of a problem on DeskTop becasue it is a touch screen... just annoying. But it is a big problem with La Top. I can not use it! Can someone fix this! Last edited by userld; 12-09-2009 at 04:01 AM.. Reason: added info |

| | I have tried everything, nothing works. It does come back periodically and then will just disappear again, no idea why. I have now overcome the problem by using a remote control. |
