I'm using a mouse with at least 2 buttons and a scroll wheel. The third button makes the cursor disappear and I haven't been able to figure that out in 2 years.

Those ads were written for a certain demographic and it's not the geriatrics I run around with...

If you're using a third party mouse, go to the manufacturer's website and download the Mac version of their software for that mouse and then set the button/wheel preferences using their software (it should show up in the Mac preferences panel. This hould solve the disappearing cursor problem for you and make the mouse more useful. I personally have the scroll wheel button set to reload a page.
