regarding the mouse pointer disappearing.

I have the same issue with a disappearing mouse using Remote Desktops
Version: 5.2.3790.0 on windows XP Pro SP 1. Same symptoms as the
others have described. After half an hour or so the mouse begins to
flicker in the console screen and then vanishes. Very annoying when I
have 10 or so session running as I need to close Remote Desktops, open
a new one and reconnect to every session.

It's a great tool, but this drives me nuts.

Hardware is an HP Compaq D530C, no third party mouse software, but I'm
using a Logitech optical mouse.

Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved yet??

Many thanks, Al
 
I set one of my sessions to go into blank screen screensaver after 5
minutes. Generally, when I choose a Remote session with the server
that has the blanked out screen my pointer reappears. It sometimes
doesn't, the preferred method then is shout profanities at the screen
for a few minutes, then restart Remote Desktops.

Please Microsoft sort this one out.

It happens from a variety of PC's at work and at home. Various mice.
Remoting to windows 2003 server and Windows 2000 server.
