Hi, I noticed this discussion being posted in several places online however there hasn't been a solution. I own a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate.

When I start the Windows Media Center, the mouse disappears. If I am lucky, I can motion it to an icon and click on it. It's a long and painful waste of time, so usually end up ctrl/alt/del and ending the program.
