Strange things happen when ME boots up, like when its completely done booting to the desktop, and then the mouse dissappears. I still works, it's there and functional, you just can't see it. Tried re-boots, but most of the time I have to remove the mouse from the device manager and then re-boot.
Another funny thing, I have to let the cpu sit in the bios screen or hit the "break" key so that the boot process stays in the beginning stage for a few minutes, and then continue booting. Otherwise, ME locks up about 1/2 way through booting up. Sounds strange, but it works every time if I let it sit on the first boot screen for just a couple of minutes. As if it needs to "warm up" before booting. I don't have this problem with any other operatingsystem.

Go to control pannel and in the mouse window, under pointer options click on accelerate. Deselect pointer acceleration. It worked for me. If that alone doesn't work, try reducing the pointer speed as well.

Good Luck
