Mac OS X 10.0, 10.1: Pointer Disappears While Using Classic Application

Symptom

The pointer temporarily disappears while using a Classic application.


Solution

Update to Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

You can also try one of the following workarounds:

• Switch to a different open application by pressing the Command-Tab keyboard shortcut.
  
• Pull the mouse so that the pointer goes toward the bottom or side of the screen and the Dock responds. Open the System Preferences application. (You will know that the pointer is over the System Preferences icon when its name appears above the Dock). Click the Classic pane in System Preferences and restart the Classic environment.
  
• Restart the computer.
