Can't see my mouse on FP (2003) background for one site

C

For some reason, when I'm moving my mouse around one of my sites, I can't
see the mouse against the background colour. It's as if the mouse
disappears (the mouse pointer is white with black lines, the background is
gray). I've even changed my windows colour scheme, but can't seem to make
the mouse visible outside of the table of my site.

Any ideas on how to make this work. It only happens on this one site.
Thanks.

I do already use the FP Cleaner (nice little utility).
I do update my video driver regularly, but haven't updated it since
February, so I'll check that and I'll do a repair (have done for "Office"
but not for FrontPage specifically).
I'll let you know how I make out.
Thanks.

I downloaded your home page in FP and had no problem seeing the mouse anywhere on the page

Thanks for the response Stefan.
Well, I'm mystified. I ran repair on FrontPage ... that went fine. I even
looked at the site (within Frontpage) on a second monitor (attached to my
system) and the problem persists.
I'm about to reinstall the video adapter driver (nothing changed since
November 2006), but I'm happy to retry.

I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.

Do you have the background set to that gray colour (assume you probably do).

I'm at a loss as to why this could happen. There's no mouse settings that
appear to be affecting the mouse, visually. It's an anomoly, that's for
sure.
I've run out of things to try.

If what you mean is you can't see it when you are below the existing content you are correct
- mouse insertion point not visible on that background color

To reproduce it just create an empty page with
<html>
<body bgcolor="#808080">
</body>
</html>

Vs.
<html>
<body bgcolor="#E9E9E9">
</body>
</html>

I have that problem also and it is a FP/Windows XP issue when using a grey background color. The
solution for me was to change the background color on the page(s).
