I've had this problem too.  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.
