The Mouse Pointer Disappears Behind the Media Bar in Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000

This article was previously published under Q298921

SYMPTOMS

If you are running Internet Explorer 6 on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, and you play a video in the Media bar, the mouse pointer is not displayed when you move it over the video area. The mouse pointer continues to move behind the video area.

WORKAROUND

This behavior does not cause any problems because the video area does not contain anything that needs to be clicked. However, this does limit your ability to use the video controls or close the window.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

    • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
    • Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
