Mouse problems

Hello,

I have been having mouse problems recently.

Whenever I access a movie player to view a dvd on my computer, my mouse arrow disappears. I try move the "missing" mouse arrow around the screen and anything I pass over will acknowledge, just as if the arrow was there.
I have rebooted my computer each time to get my mouse arrow back.

This hasn't happened to me before in 2 years that I had the mouse, the movie player and Windows XP.

Anyone know what is causing this to happen? Is there an easy fix to this?

Thanks,

Mike

try uninstalling the mouse drivers in device manager and reboot and allow windows to do a fresh install of the drivers again.

upgrade your video drivers or roll back to a previous set. Had the same prob with catalyst drivers, not sure what version though...

Okay I somehow fixed it the other night. I downloaded and installed the previous version of Firefox, 2.0.0.1.

After it reset, I was back online.

Thanks.

Oops replied to the wrong question! I'm still working on this one.
