Missing Cursor at start up.

[Allan]

I have a recurring problem with my cursor disappearing from the screen after
I login for the first time. What happens is that after the desktop has loaded
the cursor is not there. Sometimes the cursor is visible but won't move, I
can right click the mouse to bring up the menu, but the cursor is frozen. I
Ctrl/Alt/Del to Switch User to guest (I sign in as Administrator) and the
cursor performs as it should but when I Ctrl/Alt/Del switch back to original
user all I get is a dark screen.
More often the cursor is not there to begin with. I initially thought the
wireless mouse was causing the problem, but it happens with the touchpad and
when using a wired mouse. The only option is to power off the computer
manually and reboot, usually successfully with the cursor behaving normally.
This is really annoying because it's a (relatively) new laptop.
If anyone has any ideas about how to fix this I would like to know.
Thanks.

Have you gone to Control Panel/Mouse and looked at the settings for the
mouse? Settings for the Touch Pad should be there too. Maybe, you need to
make some adjustments.

Well I've taken your advice and ticked a few extra boxes in Control
Panel/Mouse. I'll keep an eye on it and see if this makes a difference the
next few times I boot the computer.
Thanks Mr Arnold
