Mouse problem in Windows MCE

[Zebaril]

Hi,
I have a problem in my Windows MCE. When I switch to full screen mode the mouse cursor disappears. I tired to move the mouse but nothing happens. Is this problem related to my video driver. Why the mouse does not work in full screen mode. Other thing if this issue cannot be fixed then list me some keyboard shortcuts that I can use while watching a movie in Media Center. Thanks in advance.

Whenever a movies is played in full screen mode the mouse cursor is hidden by default at the back ground of video. So here it is a simple way by which you can make the cursor visible. First when you play the movie and if you want to use the mouse then press the Windows key from the keyboard. When press the Start Menu will slide up. The mouse will be activated and you can then access the media center with mouse.

The problem is related to the video size. If you limit the video size then you can probably use the mouse. The cursor get hidden in the background and many a time it is disabled by the MCE while playing movies. If you run the movie in Window mode then there are possibilities that you can use it. First click on start menu > control panel > personalize. Then here change the font size and monitor size to small. Reboot your system and check back again.

Windows MCE provides variety of keyboard shortcuts. I am listing you the most common which can be used at the time of watching movies. To increase volume press F10, to decrease F9 and to mute F8. To enter music menu press Ctrl + M, to skip a song press Ctrl + F, guide press Ctrl + G, Ctrl + A for radio, etc. For the mouse problem you will have to check the mouse setting. If the setting says that hide mouse while playing movie then you have to disable it.
