Generally it happens when I move out of a full screen DOS app. The easiest way to rectify the problem is to open a dos window [from the Program Manager select File <Alt-F>, Run, and then run COMMAND.COM]. Once you've opened the DOS windows run your mouse drive [usually MOUSE.COM]. This always seems to do the trick. It also has worked when my mouse pointer disappears [a new problem I've encountered with 3.1]. Hope that helps. Brian
