Open Device Manager in Control Panel, doubleclick your USB Root Hub(s) and
set the Power Management tab to not "allow computer to turn off this device"

Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply.
I looked at the USB check box setting, but it it wasn't checked.
Although I don't think it's relevant as I am using a PS/2 mouse.

What I meant to say was that the mouse pointer dissappears.

Any other suggestions

Thanks fro replying

The pointer trails were not set....I tried all possile mouse
configurations....but no success.

I wondered if there was some other setting in Vista that I might have
overlooked but I concluded that it may be a Vista flaw.
