Sometimes my cursor disappears, and immediately reappears somewhere else on the screen. It happens a fair amount for me, but I tend to notice it more when I'm playing games in the arcade that require precise cursor movement or clicking.... Occasionally I'll be playing a game and POOF! I'm clicking on my favorites bar at the top of the screen and going to Amazon or eBay! :lol

I have no idea if this is something everyone encounters or not. Just curious. :shrug

Well, I know that since some games don't use the mouse, it will disappear if it's hovering over the game for some games. I usually try to keep the mouse just below the game section of the screen in case i need it.

I've noticed it have some slight issues on games that involve the movement of the mouse or clicking but I kinda think that's with most games. I dunno though.

It happens to me when I'm using Applications or when I'm looking around the internet; it's not an arcade issue. But it's just kinda funny when it happens. Like Roman Rubble, where you have to keep the cursor right there on either side of the little guy . . . All of a sudden my guy's not reacting, and I have to QUICKLY find the cursor and bring it back!

Ah, ok...I thought we were having glitches again. :doh

Eurgh, sometimes my cursor quickly moves to the top right or bottom left corner of the screen, sometimes making me close something or hit the start button. -_-
Not related to the arcade though.

That's what I mean. It's not really that the cursor disappears, since it's immediately reappearing elsewhere on the screen. But from the perspective of the game (when it happens in the arcade) it disappears as far as functionality. Anyway, I'll bet there's some strange technical word for it.
