OK, I have a major problem!!

I just got a new hp desktop with windows well i also wanted to run linux red hat 5. I went out and got an extra 250 gig hd just for it. Well i have tried reinstalling the Os several times to fix the problem with no resolve.

When you are installing the mouse works fine but after install when you are using it normaly it pointer is the there but you can not see it. you just have to feel around blindly. Even on bootup its there wile the os is bootstraping but it goes away on login screen!!!!!! :mad:


Any ideas its really making me MAD

Yea its red hat 5 i got it from a linux bible that a friend loned me. Where can i get an updated version like 9???

Also I noticed another problem this tower has a new lightscribe disk drive and it will read from the drive but for some reason it will not open it opens when windows is running tho???

It also has a nvidia motherboard with a amd chip and is vista ready??

Any ideas?? Where can i download a newer version for free??
