I used image shack and hope I copied my link right. Recently I have been having a fit with my CURSOR fx. (not windows fx re my previous post). I can hardly download a cursor and when I do, I am unable to change any of the settings. It just quits responding, and the screen fades. I have tried uninstalling it but the cursor I am using never disappears Which is crazy making. How can your cursor fx cursor remain after the program has been uninstalled? I just want it to work and I don't know why it isn't
You can get your Vista cursor back by going to Control Panel/Personalization and Appearance/Mouse Pointers/Mouse Properties.Select "use default" and hit apply. CFX (free version) gave me fits as well,I reinstalled it a total of 12 times in less than a year.The current version has been working fine ,however. You may have a bad cursor file,usually an older one,maybe not.
I made multiple posts about it,but this is what it took each time to reinstall it in working condition.I've had it freeze up immediately on launch several times after install until I followed these steps below:
1:Back up any cursor themes you want to save and apply the default Vista cursor
2:Download Revo Uninstaller LINK
Use Revo on moderate to uninstall CFX(Don't use add/remove programs or Impulse) Let it scan for leftover registry entries and folders.( and no,CCleaner wont do to clean out the mess)
3:Delete anything it finds shown in bold print only. It will find a lot of leftovers,which is what is borking the reinstall, then reboot your computer.
4:Reinstall CFX and try the included cursors. If the control panel does not freeze up,add your saved cursors one at a time.Switch cursors back and forth several times before adding another one. If you find one that locks up the panel,delete it.
5: E-mail support and refer to this thread.I feel the built-in uninstaller needs to do a better job,but what the hey,it's free.
6:If it happens again in the future,lather,rinse, and repeat until it behaves itself.
Sounds like a lot,but really it's easy and CFX is such an awesome program and the cursors so nice,it was worth it for me. I hope it straightens itself out for you,mine has only crashed once since the new version came out.
Good Luck with it.
PM me if you have any ???
Sheesh! I did as you told me and when I tried to redownload CursorFX from my serial number, it takes me to Impulse and there doesn't appear to be any way to add it. It is not showing up as available, installed, or anything. I have been working with this since you emailed me the directions. The only other thing to do is pay for another version, and that I am not ready to do. Why do you think I am having this problem? I have never had a problem with my cursors before (other programs, but never the cursors) Any help would be appreciated
