Xbox Cursor Driving Me Nuts!

As an extra piece of hardware that is specifically for additional views to the one's I have assigned on my yoke, I have an Xbox cotroller. I have found, ever since using it, that whenever I use the right stick to fly around the aircraft or look around the cockpit, there either appears an arrow (cursor) or a white dot. It doesn't show while in Showcase mode, only inside the cockpit or in an external view. The white dot appears in the cockpit, but when using the controller for an outside view, it generally becomes a rather obtrusive large white arrow! Can anyone offer any ideas of how I can remove this annoying little critter, or is this a known bug? Thanks.
