Mouse goes invisible when DVD drive is in operation

[Jason Honingford]

When I use my internal (IDE) Plextor DVD drive for playing DVD's or burning,
sometimes my mouse goes invisible. I can still point and click with it, but
it's just invisible. When this happens the cursor does appear where it was
last pointing, but it's just stuck there. The DVD drive does not require
drives. The mouse is a Logitech wireless trackball. I've tried re-setting
it, replugging it in a new USB port, and reinstalling drivers. No luck. Any
ideas?

I also have this same problem from time to time when using a wireless mouse
except it happens when watching TV in Media Center. I have not found a
solution to the problem but one thing that is helpful is to enable the
feature that highlights the cursor location when the CTRL key is pressed. It
can be enabled in the mouse control panel.
