Vista Tutorial - No cursor whilst using Media Center on secondary monitor.

No cursor whilst using Media Center on secondary monitor.

I have Media Center set up to display on my secondary monitor (a TV) so,
obviously, we can watch videos off the computer from the comfort of our
sofas. However for some reason when I have media center running on the
secondary display my mouse cursor dissapears from the primary display, so if
the rest of the house are watching a movie, I can't get any work done!

It's not the case that the mouse has simply "gone too far to the right" onto
the secondary screen, no amount of movement will bring it back onto the
primary screen.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Anyone know a fix?

Thanks.
Seb.

Re: No cursor whilst using Media Center on secondary monitor.

I have seen some reports that if you hit the Windows key on your keyboard
that the mouse will come back to the primary display.
