	Disappearing Mouse Enter the AD-FREE zone

I did not see this anywhere in Help....

Has anyone run across situation where after screen saver kicks on, or maybe some other type of event, the cursor disappears so the mouse pretty much useless? I have to reboot to get it back.

Let me know if anyone has seen that and knows of a fix.

Thanks.

Don't use screen savers, they can occasionaly cause problems with programs that are running. Just have your monitor power down after a certain amount of time. Even then there's the chance the screen may not come back up, but it's a more reliable way than screen savers.

Yes especially troublesome are the 3d screensavers. Screensavers are the devil and their utility is outdated. Might as well just have your monitor turned off.

There more of a gimmick than anything else. With the power management settings that are available, people are better off using that instead. After all, the monitor stills needs power to run the screen savers, they don't need any if they're just turned off. And I find that pretty much all of them are really, really tacky.
