Problem #2 with my laptop. This has been a problem I think since I bought it. Every third or fourth time I reboot my machine, when Windows comes up the mouse cursor is all bugged out. It varies, but usually it looks something like a big block of black and white barcode. That and often a sliver of pixels will be missing down the middle of my screen and will show up at the right side of the screen instead. I can always remedy the situation by just rebooting until it starts up right. I've learned to cope, but I'm wondering if anyone has encountered something similar, and if there is any known fix for it.
