While in IE my mouse pointer will disappear. I unchecked "hide while typing" and it still disappears. I'll be reading a web page and the pointer disappears, I then have to shake the mouse so I can see where it is.
Is this a new "feature" in the latest version of IE. If so, how do I turn it off?

Do you have some mouse software such as Logitech or Microsoft?

I have three systems listed in the specs area. My main desktop and my secondary desktop that was my previous build. The last one (in all the sections) is my Lenovo laptop.

Thanks for your interest in my machines! :)
No, but I did find a resolution while rearching this problem if anybody is interested.
I had multiple tabs open. One was to a site which had flash embedded videos (or something like that).
I closed the tab for the site and now my mouse pointer doesn't disappear anymore.
I don't know if an update to flash is needed or the website needs to be fixed.

If your mouse is wireless, bad battery?

It's a USB mouse. It didn't do this in any other program. I looked for a similar issue on the net and found one that's similar and is caused by a bug in flash or certain buggy websites that use flash.
It's "fixed" for the time being. When I go to the site that causes the issue, I don't have any other tabs open.

Glad you figured out a work-around. You can also try updating both Flash and Shockwave player.
