mouse disappearing..

hey guys

i have been having a bit of trouble latley with my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel core 2 duo, 2GB. MAC OSX 10.5.8) Every now and again after my mac goes to sleep/standby mode the mouse disappears off the screen.

its the strangest thing, the cursor totally disappeared and i couldnt click on anything of see it. The only way i can remedy this is by restarting. When this happens all the shortcuts still work on my programs and i havnt got it connected to any other screens or drives.

anyone had/having similar problems or know of anything that could help?

thanks

Are you using the trackpad only, or an external mouse, bluetooth or not?

hi im using the touchpad mostly when it happens.

i do use a bluetooth mouse too when im editing and stuff.
