Media Center Full Screen issue with mouse

Hi Ken,

I have suffered with this same issue. In my case the media center "10ft
interface" worked when I first installed the OS.

Symptoms were that I simply couldn't select the minimise, maximise and close
buttons at all, and that mouse imputs didn't seem to be responding (even
though I could use the interface with the curser keys) either.

I finally noticed that the curser seemed offset, and by that i meant that
the highlighted text seemed to be activated when the mouse curser was an inch
or two AWAY from the text. If I clicked directly on it, there was no response.

I had used the Control Panel -> Personalise page to change my font size to
120 DPI as on my monitor the text was a little small. Once I changed this
back (required a reboot?) the media center 10ft interface worked perfectly.

Hope that helps.
