Solve : Mouse missing in Media Centre!? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Running Vista home premium (pre-installed) on Advent T9408, Core2CPU, 4300-1.80GHz, 1022mb, 32bitOp. system.<br/><br/>Every time I open up Windows Media Centre my mouse disappears visualy, its there somewhere in the darkness as I can shove it to the corner and highlight various parts of the screen - but I can't see it.<br/>This is the only programme I have this problem with, the mouse is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/visible-1447103" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VISIBLE">VISIBLE</a> elswhere on every other programme, its not as if I can simply re-install the programme as Media Centre was pre-installed when I got the computer.<br/><br/>Any ideas - Why this is happening & how I can cure the problem? Does it happen in full screen mode only?Yes, when the screen is reduced the mouse appears - why does this happen?Apparently, there is some glitch in Windows Media Center, and as always M$ is slow to fix it:<br/><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/chats/transcripts/06_0921_ez_xpmedia.mspx"><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/http-11424" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HTTP">HTTP</a>://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/chats/transcripts/06_0921_ez_xpmedia.mspx</a><br/>They are talking about dual monitor display, but it seems like same thing happens on regular display:<br/>Quote</p><blockquote>When you run Windows Media Center in full-screen mode on a dual-monitor system, only the monitor that Media Center is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/currently-428637" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CURRENTLY">CURRENTLY</a> displaying on is usable. The secondary display will not redraw and you cannot use it or interact with it. This is the design for how all full-screen DirectX exclusive applications work, and unfortunately Media Center does not have any control over that. <strong>As a workaround you can change Media Center from full-screen mode to windowed mode and then resize the window as large as it can go</strong>.</blockquote>Thank you for your help - At least I can now use it fully, and knowing its not a programme fault with my own unit <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/gives-763601" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GIVES">GIVES</a> me some comfort.<br/>You've been very helpful as <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/usual-722247" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USUAL">USUAL</a> - thanks again.You're welcome</body></html> | |
