screen control's won't auto hide

WMC plays recorded tv OK, but the screen icons and controls won't dissappear during playback. Even though the mouse is not moving, the little circle next to the cursor pop's up every 5 seconds, keeping the controls from fading. It's only during video playback, not music.

Vista Home Premium 32, SP1, with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card and an ATI TV Wonder tuner.

Re: screen control's won't auto hide

After much trial and error, it turns out that the culprit was the bluetooth adaptor for the wireless keyboard and mouse. Removed it, hooked up wired KB & M and everything is OK. I'm now looking for a wireless alternative to bluetooth.
