This may be dumb, but can anyone tell me why I cannot see my mouse pointer
during a photo slideshow?

Control Panel>>Hardware and Sound>>Mouse>>Pointer Options>>

Either you check: "Display Pointer Trails" or you check: "Show Location of
Pointer when I press CTRL key" or both

You may also benefit from changing the appearance of your cursor in
different settings.

Check Pointers Tab and go down to Select, Click Browse, select the pointer
you want. I suggest "dinosaur" and double click on it.

Not dumb at all -- I have seen several postings about the same problem.
Happened to me also.

Go to 'Mouse Properties' -'Pointer Options' - then UNCHECK the box for
"Display pointer trails". This worked for me.

Still not working, I am stumped...
