Mouse pointer has tendency to disappear. Only reappears after wild 
movements. This is lousy way of working (Vista).

Lot of variables here: wired, wireless, USB, and PS2? Have you tried a different mouse? If USB...a different port?

Original mouse, USB, optical mouse. I'll give it a try in a different port, 
although I was told always to use same port. I don't have another USB 
mouse...

I don't suppose that you accepted a recent driver update with Windows 
updates? That's often the cause of issues like yours. My advice is to never 
let Windows update device drivers - if it ain't broken don't fix it and if 
it is then get the driver from the hardware manufacturers site.

Not intentionally, but of course I do install regularly MS security 
updates...

I now activated the "mouse trails" setting. With this work around I can at 
least see what I'm doing. But it still moves very jerky...

Low mouse battery power.  Batteries not fitting firmly (rapid movements 
reset batteries).  Computer trying to hibernate (going to sleep).

Sounds like he has a wired optical mouse. Hense, no batteries.

No batteries in wired optical USB mouse.
