Vista - I can't see the mouse pointer when I run slide show .

I am unable to see the mouse pointer when viewing my photos in slide show,
which of course means that I can't pick any of the themes easily.
I do know that the themes work....if I try very carefully and slowly I can
get to the themes button and click to show the choices, then pick one choice
using my arrow keys. ( all this without seeing the mouse pointer at
all----clicking blindly).

My Vista video card score is 4.2.
I have tried hitting the control key, but that doesn't show the pointer
position.
I checked my mouse properties for any changes I can make.

Any thoughts? Are there any settings for full screen programs that I can
change?

Thanks.

Ouch....that "newbie" dig hurt!

My level of experience is besides the point here (and a totally wrong
assumption)----I need to know how to access and use the controls at the
bottom of the slideshow screen if my mouse pointer is not visible. How do I
use the themes or speed controls?

Any real wisdom out there?

try turning off the display mouse pointer trails option. I had the same
problem; this seems to have solved it.
