Mouse cursor disappearing with multiple monitors

I have an HP Pavillion laptop running vista home premium (if any of that is
relevant)
Anyway, most of the time I have it hooked up to a second monitor, with
"Extend my desktop onto this monitor" setting so I have more screen space to
work with

However, whenever the displays switch off (after 20 minutes of inactivity or
whatever), or sleep mode or hibernate mode, the mouse cursor will usually be
invisible (as in, it's still there, and I can still try to click stuff, but I
won't be able to see where it is) on one of the screens when I come back to
my computer..

And nothing I do, aside from restarting the computer seems to get it to come
back.
Any suggestions?

i have the same problem and tried solve the problem several times before when
i found some suggestions on the net.

the only thing that helped was to turn of the energy save mode so that my
computer doesn't "fall aspleep" after 20 minutes or so.

I have a Compaq Presario F730US and it is doing the same thing to me; however
it started when my video driver thought there was 2 monitors and would go to
sleep. I am having a hard time getting the video to believe there is only
the laptop monitor. I have since hooked it to a 2nd Monitor (19in
widescreen) to view stuff and it still does it. Not sure if it is a windows
issue, HP issue, video drive issue, or what?? Is rebooting the only way to
get it to come back?? That is all I have found.
