I got a free express upgrade to Vista at the same time that HP sent me the correct set of recovery discs. Since I had to do the recovery anyway I decided to install Vista instead since it will be easy to get rid of. Unfortunately, I rather like it. But... I have a problem with the cursor when I launch Windows Media Center. It disappears. When I move the mouse the effects of some movement is visible and some is not. When I press the Windows key, the taskbar and start menu appear and so does the cursor. When I click on any part of the Media Center window though the cursor disappears again. This happens using the laptop touchpad, the wired Microsoft optical mouse that came with the laptop and with a Microsoft wireless laser mouse. When I exit the media center, the cursor becomes visible again. Compaq support had me download and install a new touchpad driver but that did not help. I'm waiting for further suggestions from them. Anybody here got any ideas? Don -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
