My cursor is not visible in Outlook but fine in other programs

[HWalke]

Just about to start using Outlook. It has connected to my service provider
fine but the cursor is not visible on the screen. It is fine on the desktop
and on other packages. I have tried changing the pointer etc in Control
Panel but it makes no difference. Is there any change I can make in Outlook
to make it visible?

That's what I would expect to see if Outlook was hung.

If you alt-tab to Outlook, can you use the arrow keys or tab key to navigate
around the window?

What happens if you hit Alt-F once you Alt-Tab to outlook? Does the file
menu open?

I have the same problem of the cursor disappearing. Before I upgraded to
Vista from XP, I backed up all my files with Windows Live OneCare, and after
re-installing Office 2007 and using the file import in Outlook to get back
old messages, the cursor doesn't show when moved over the Outlook window. I
can't get any menus with the Alt function either. Outlook seems to have hung.
I have to use the Task Manager to close Outlook.
Before trying to import the backed-up messages, Outlook worked fine. Is
there a way to fix Outlook? I need some of those old messages!
