I have a 17 month-old desktop PC running Windows XP SP2, DSL connection.
2GB of RAM, Pentium D processor at 3Ghz.

In the Mouse Control Panel options, I have "Hide pointer while typing."
That works with some programs on my computer, but annoyingly not with the
two programs I use most often: Firefox and Outlook Express 6 SP2. Is there
some tweak to fix this?
