However by enabling the pointer shadow it makes my mouse rather choppy, so this still isn't a solution. When VMware tools IS installed and the pointing device driver is the default "vmware pointing device" and "enable pointer shadow" is enabled in the mouse properties the problem does not occur. When VMware tools IS installed, but the pointing device driver is changed from "vmware pointing device" to "PS/2 compatible mouse" the problem does not occur When VMware tools is not installed the problem does not occur (but the mouse is choppy so this isn't a fix) Through means of troubleshooting here are the things that I have found out.

(the cursor is visible during the ctrl altdel logon screen) It's just that the pointer completely vanishes. If I right click somewhere I see menus pop up, etc. When trying to work inside any console session from within the vi client my mouse disappears as soon as I click inside the console window.


I am using remote desktop (RDP) to go from my client workstation into a VM that is running vcenter client. I am running the most current versions of eveything.Īnd the latest builds of vcenter server and client.
