My Mouse Cursor Disappears coming out of standby and screensaver!!

I have a TX1000z, with a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium 64. All drivers are current, including the video, networking, mouse, etc. I am using the xb3000 port replicator with the logitech MX Revolution mouse and a bluetooth wireless keyboard.
My mouse cursor disappears from the screen, sometimes both the laptop and the monitor (a Dell 22"), sometimes just one or the other. I can still use the buttons and see different things highlight, but no mouse cursor. It is not related to Windows Media Center as I have not run that on my laptop yet. I can reboot and everything is fine, but then it will just disappear again and I cannot keep rebooting! I have seen this problem posted all over the web, usually in relation to Windows Media Center and the "solution" is always the same...Disable Pointer Trails and "hide cursor while typing." Neither of these has worked for me. In fact, when I went in to disable trails, they were already disabled. Actually, when I clicked on Enable Pointer Trails, the mouse becomes visible. The mouse is then choppy (even when the trail is very short) and disappears again if I disable pointer trails.
Here is a link to another post with a very similar problem, but the resolution was not posted (though a suggestion was):
http://forums.logitech.com/logitech/board/message?board.id=software_mice&message.id=12940#M12940
HELP!!

Still an issue. No fix found for me either.
Windows Vista 64 sp3. Latest NVidia Video drivers. External Logitech Trackball Marble Wireless. Trails disabled, Hide while typing Disabled.
Happens when coming out of sleep, screensaver or hibernate. Usually on the primary screen only (dual display). Sometimes on all.

Satellite A105-S4284 gets Blue Screen of Death when coming out of standby

MySatellite A105-S4284 runnings Windows XP gets a BSOD after coming out of standby or hibernation. With standby, I'll see the login screen where I enter my password, and then it may show the desktop background or even the open app (Outlook or Word, typically) for a second, afterwhich the BSOC appears. For weeks I was getting a black screen sporadically after standby. Researched the problem and saw recommendations to update BIOS. So I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and then I started getting blue screens of death rather than a black screen. Thought the problem was McAfee, because I'd get crashes right after McAfee became active in the background, sometimes without going into standby. Cancelled McAfee, took it off with the cleaner, used Avast instead, and that seemed to help. But then BSODs came back. I uninstalled non-essential software, clearned registry with CC Cleaner, freed up more HD space and defragged, ran SpyBot, etc - but I still get the BSOD almost every time I go into standby or hibernate.
The stop messages on the BSOD don't show a driver. and all begin with 0x0000007E (0x000000C5, ... and then differ after that. One recent one followed with 0x804E13D5, 0xAA6B9B8C, 0xAA6B9888). Does that mean anything?
I've installed Microsoft's debugging tools to look at the dumps after a BSOD. Here is output for two recent crashes. Doesn't point to a driver. NTKRMLMP.exe is what crashes - do I need to replace that from the I386 folder somehow? I did have my Matsu**bleep**a DVD-CD drive suddenly quit a time or two until the computer was restarted. Should I reinstall the DVD driver? Or the graphics driver? Worried that I might break something by doing that.

In safe mode it is not possible to standby. That is disabled. Tried to make it possible with Toshiba's power control service, but it is not available.
In a new account, the BSOD still occurs. I created a new account, logged out of my account, and went to the new one. Tried standby. It came out of standby for a second and then had the blue screen of death.
In checking the event manager, I seen errors shortly before crashes sometimes that involve the CD.
So I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the DVD RAM driver and ran it, reinstalling the driver, and then restarted. I also saw that there was C-Dilla driver in my drivers. I uninstalled the SafeCast program that I think is associated with C-Dilla, moved the C-Dilla driver out of the drivers to a distant folder, unchecked C-Dilla in MSCONFIG so it won't load (it was still there after removing SafeCast), and then reinstarted. So with a new DVD Ram driver and neutering, I hope, of C-Dilla, I tried things again and the system appeared to be crash free - better than it had been. But then a crash occurred - BSOD - and upon restart, the CD locked up, and crashed again.
After restarting, there was a new dialog that popped up after Windows launched indicating that there had been an error with SONIC DLA. Before the crash, there was an event n the event viewer:
My last error comes from the Plug and Play Manager:
The device 'MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ-841S' (IDE\CdRomMAT**bleep**A_DVD-RAM_UJ-841S________________1.60____\5&226f6cf2&0&0.0.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
Hmmm. So things are still vulnerable. Any ideas? Buy new CD drive? Or new computer?

No USB Functionality After Coming Out of Standby Mode - Windows XP SP2

I currently use my MacBook with Boot Camp to run Windows XP SP2 (as the default boot OS). I have enabled standby so that I can save battery power. However, whenever I come out of standby, it seems as if the USB ports no longer work. Sometimes I'll have a USB mouse plugged in and it will no longer work after coming out of standby (in the past, it would take like 10 minutes to work, but now it seems to not work at all). I have tried unplugging it and plugging it into a different USB port with no success. I have even tried another USB device (a digital photo frame product) and it doesn't detect either (although it seems to provide power via the USB port because the digital photo frame shows the "connecting..." screen). Any help regarding this is greatly appreciated, since its so frustrating to have to reboot to gain access to my USB ports. Thanks!

Same with BootCamp v2.1 and in XP SP3. More Apple software bugs it seems (seem to be rampant across all their gadgets - e.g. iPod Touch 2G v2.1.1 WiFi WPA/WPA2 failures, etc.).
Frustrated, thinking about third party Bluetooth keyboard mouse (e.g. Logitech DiNovo Edge works great on my Mac mini with it's own mini USB bluetooth receiver, just tap a key to resume from standby like you're supposed to be able to!) -- or a traditional Logitech wireless.

My mouse cursor disappears behind the picture I'm working with!

While I was working on a picture in Photoshop, my mouse cursor disappeared. No crosshairs (I've already tried turning the caps lock on and off). It was just gone. I moved my mouse around and it appears whenever I choose a new tool or when I'm working with the layers or when I use something from the drop down bar, the mouse is there when I don't have anything open in Photoshop--just when I have the program open--but whenever I start working on a picture or a blank canvas it disappears, like it's going underneath the canvas (I found I can still draw and erase on the canvas, I just can't tell where since the cursor is gone). This is frustrating because I use Photoshop to create my digital artwork and my drawing pad is small, so I need to know where my cursor is in order to draw accurately.
Things I've done to resolve the problem thus far: I've downloaded the current Adobe update, I've tried adjusting my advanced properties settings on my computer, I've tried readjusting my cursor settings in my preferences, I've tried resetting my presets--thinking I might have miss clicked a combination of keys to make it happen--I've also tried closing out and going back into Photoshop, even turned my computer off, let it sit, and then turned it back on. But my mouse cursor continues to disappear underneath the canvas.
I plan on uninstalling and then reinstalling my Photoshop software--I hope that works. Otherwise, if that doesn't, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Okay, so I figured this out how to resolve this issue a few days after posting my question. If you have the Nezumi Pro plugin for your Photoshop there is an option in the Nezumi settings to hide your cursor which can be easily activated by simply miss clicking F6. Once I figured this out and changed my cursor settings back to normal, my mouse reappeared.

7.3.2.6 crashes when coming out of standby mode

Has anyone else seen this problem with iTunes 7.3.2.6?
It crashes when coming out of standby mode. There is an error report I can send to Microsoft, but since it's an Apple program, I never send it.
Using standby was OK with iTunes 7.2.

Okay. Let's try getting a fresh one through to Roy.
If the log has been "live" for a while, info about every crash of any description will have been being added to it (with my Morrowind crashing on a daily basis, i once found a DrWatson log on belladonna that was over a GB in size). So it'll be easier for him to work through a log with just one crash on it.
Will run through my standard instructions just so i don't forget anything. (Sorry, I know you're up to speed on this sort of thing, no offense meant.)
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
In the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

Mouse cursor disappears after captions timing warning

This happens when I try in caption to change a time that conflicts with the following box. I punch in the illegal time by mistake, I get the warning pop up and then the mouse cursor disappears. At that point, I have to restart the software to get the cursor back back.

Hello,
I've tried to reproduce this problem -- but so far oi have not been able to reproduce the mouse-pointer vanishing. Can you break this down into some steps?
Like this:
1. Launch application
2. Via File-> New-> Captions make a new Closed Caption accepting all defaults
3. After the caption is opened from the Project area, make a few caption blocks/ slots via a the "+" button
4. Put text in each block
5. in the second caption, click on the "In:" time and type 000000000 and hit RETURN key
6. Click <OK> in the caption overlap warning
7. ...
8. ..
I'll try again when I see how you are getting the problem.
Take care!

Mouse cursor disappearing

I am using Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and when I am browsing around on the internet my cursor seems to disappear occasionally if i move it into the toolbars... (back, forward, stop, address etc..) i can still click on things and stuff but i can't see the cursor?
Any ideas?

Yes I understand, It is almost as if the pointer
slips under the buttons on the left of the toolbar,
where the back & forward buttons are, for me it is
has also been on the page as I approach the toolbar.
I have no doubt it is the same sort of thing, as a
matter of fact I had it happen yesterday on an AOL
page, which I just tested on W3C....
I encountered precisely this "arrow cursor disappears" or "mouse cursor disappears" in Safari uptodate on MacBook 2GHz w 1GB RAM. But I observed it on only a single page of a large site (www.philly.com).
Thus I assume it is the coding of that page and Safari's picky rendering of W3C standards... and a W3C Validator check of that page's URL produced hundreds of errors in its coding, which I forwarded to the offending site's webmaster.
Failed validation, 118
Errors, clearly validated poorly using the beta v. of W3C.
Mark up Validator.
When you run into the problem check the site.
The regular W3C
Markup Validation Service gave this
->:Result: Failed validation,
57 errors.
I noticed that I didn't have the disappearing curser
tonight when I visited the same AOL page in
Del.ici.cous, using Safari Webkit
I also just Installed "Security Update 2007-004, via
SwUpdter not sure if that made any difference, which
is recommended.
Eme mentioned having just installed some software updates but didn't say what happened afterwards. In my case it only began to appear AFTER I installed "Security Update 2007-005 (Universal)" (1.1) and "Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6)" (1.0).

Mouse cursor disappears

sup guys
whenever i connect my PB took an external monitor and bluetooth mouse, then I remove everything to use the PB portably(?, haha, when i'm on the move) the mouse cursor disappears. trackpad works fine, it brings up the dock, magnifies, the whole nine, just the black arrow is gone. last time i think it took like 30 mins to come back. normally i just restart, and its brand new again, anyone have any idea why?
PB G4 12/1.33GHZ Mac OS X (10.3.9) 768 MB RAM

I think it's a bug with OS X 10.3.9.
I used to suffer from something similar (cursor would become invisible when waking from sleep with external keyboard and monitor), until I upgraded to 10.4. I haven't had any trouble since.

Mouse cursor disappear using photoshop cs5.5

mouse cursor disappear using photoshop cs5.5 ( IMAC MID 2010 )

Before proceeding further, it is to be highlighted that the version being referred to is Photoshop CS5 Extended which is actually Photoshop Version 12.1 and is a part of Adobe Master Collection CS5.5. A screenshot of the version information is attached below for information.
Hence, I dont understand the concern expressed by many about the lowest version eligible for scripting being available in the product.
My version is in effect 12.1 and not 7 or 8.
Accordingly someone may advise on what script to use for inserting the EXIF data onto the image. I also want that the positioning of the text is predetermined and same for a batch of images required to be processed. I dont want to fix the position of text for each individual image.

Mouse cursor disappears sometimes on Firefox for Mac

Sometimes, only when Firefox is open, the mouse cursor disappears. I can still click, but the cursor is invisible.

Does the mouse pointer only disappear when the pointer is in a Firefox window (user interface or browser part or both) or is it gone outside Firefox as well?

Safari hangs when coming out of standby

I have a 15" early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.6.7.
When I open my MacBook Pro (ie, when it comes out of standby), and go into Safari (which is already open), Safari hangs for at least 10 seconds. This happens about 95% of the time. It makes no difference if Safari is reset - the problem still occurs.
Similarly, but less frequently, the system hangs for about 10 seconds at the password screen when opening the laptop lid - approximately 20% of the time.
Clearly this is not an ideal situation!
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
J

Might be a third party Safari plugin causing the lag time.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Deselect: Enable Plugins.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Since the Mac hangs at the login screen, check for login items.
Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.
If you haven't checked the startup disk lately, try that.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utillities.
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Mouse cursor disappears after logging out

I have set up 3 identical x86 systems, which means they all have the same mouse, same keyboard, same motherboard, same CPU, etc. The first 2 systems work fine with Solaris 10. The last system has this problem:
After I installed Solaris, the system boots up. I would log in as root. The mouse works fine. The moment I log out, I see the log in window. My mouse cursor is gone. Only the keyboard works.
So I re-installed Solaris 10 again. Same problem.
I went out and bought the same motherboard. Re-installed Solaris 10 again. Same problem.
I can't argue that maybe the mouse is not compatible with Solaris because that same mouse works fine with the other 2 systems. Also, I tried other mice, and I have the same problem.
I can't say that there's something wrong with my Solaris installation CD's because I've used those same CD's to install on the other 2 systems, and there's no problem.
Anyone has a suggestion what could be causing this, and how to fix it? Thanks.

Brand New Retina Macbook Pro - Mouse Cursor Disappears

Just bought this new MBP Retain, 13" with the 2.6ghz processor and have not installed much on it. I think the only program I've installed is Spotify.
Aside from that, I'm using it as is, out of the box. No external mouse, keyboard, or any other application aside from an equally new iPhone 5S.
I've had this issue 3 times within the 3 days of ownership, where the mouse cursor will completely disappear from the sceen and it doesn't come back. The computer still functions and I can still do a few things like type (if I'm inside a textbox already, I think), as well as change the volume, brightness and activate the Power button (however, I can't select anything).
I have to do a hard reset to get it back.
This is pretty frustrating for a brand new product. I don't think it's linked to any external factors as nothing additional has been added.

VMWare and Chrome are not running at the same time. I'm describing two separate tests.
I'm saying any program that uses a moderate amount of CPU (15-25% of total available CPU capacity) causes the MBP to exceed 200ºF with fans running full speed. Chrome is not the problem, it's an example. VMWare is not the problem, just another example. Probably if I fire up iMovie and start rendering video the same thing will happen. I just don't understand why the MBP can't keep its temperature below 200ºF with the fans on full speed.
If I max out all 8 cores by running 8 instances of "yes > dev/null" in Terminal the temperature reaches 213ºF.
