HP Laptop Mouse Disappears

HP DV6449US... usually happens when notebook goes to sleep and then wakes
up... keyboard is OK and pressing Ctrl will locate but not make the cursor
visible.

Anyone else have this issue or fix?

Thanks...

Re: HP Laptop Mouse Disappears

I do not have the problem with my HP6xx laptop and my Logitech USB wireless
mouse. Have you checked for updated Vista drivers at your mouse vendors
Website?

Re: HP Laptop Mouse Disappears

I have this same problem. What I have noticed is that the latest Vista patch bundle seems to have a fix of some sort for the pointing device, which causes the pointer to disappear. Nice fix. So, about a week or so ago, this problem started up for me. When I uninstalled the patches, things worked fine. But I think there is more to this, as my actions are only a band-aid. I use a Logitech USB mouse. I also have the HP expansion dock. other threads I have read relate this problem to issue much deeper in the Vista build and display properties.

Re: HP Laptop Mouse Disappears

I agree that the problem runs much deeper.... I have read threads other
places than here.... talked to Microsoft that offers a hotfix (worked for a
day), talked to HP and they offered a patch for the BIOS... that worked a
day... so far the one thing that is still working is this.... add mouse
pointer trails... set to short to reduce the annoyance factor... and it
seems to work.... when I first did this I had lost the pointer and with the
keyboard got myself to be able to activate the trails... the pointer
returned immediately much to my surprise and pleasure....

Hope it works for you!!!
