I think that this is a bug that hasn't been reported yet by anyone because I have Vista and Ubuntu working side by side in a dual boot like you do and 99% of the time, the mouse works just fine with no issues. I have had on maybe 10 occassions where I get to the desktop and the mouse doesn't work but when I reboot it, the mouse works again. Please let me know if you tried rebooting the computer because if you have and it works when you reboot the computer, then this is a bug. Keep me posted

It is the same as my experience. However, I solved the problem later. I found that the mouse appeared after I open a doc. or txt. document and type some letter. one can try to do as me, and he may get his mouse.

Can you help with this problem?
