I was able to download the plus version and with your help, rebooted and it's working, partially, can't seem to get the effects to enabled. Also if you leave the cursor alone on the screen it flickers on and off, from a cursor skin to a plan old arrow. Help!

Windows XP SP2, CFX Plus and Abracadabra

Ditto to reply #1 with the same System specs.

For some reason, the cursor disappears while in windows media center (open, not minimized), which it did not do before with the default vista cursors.

This skin is giving me a Fatal Error in Vista.

It totally shuts down the program.

The effects don't work no matter what I do. No option for recolouring or brightness/contrast like in CursorXP, only hue and transparency and that puts a limit to the colouring option in my opinion. Scrolling themes don't work when you have many themes installed (as I have). Clicking the scrollbar AND the scrollbar arrows jumps couple of pages of themes and holding the scrollbar gripper trying to scroll themes is almost impossible. The cursor disappear/flicker without any obvious reason like an app starting. Trail elements - I don't see any. Mirror and resize work but the 25%, 50% etc in CursorXP work much better and are easier to use. The program itself crashes from time to time when applying a new theme - no particular theme.

System: Windows XP Home SP2 + all available patches, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3,2GHz, 2GB of RAM, latest nVidia drivers 6.14.11.6375.

I feel like I've paid for an early Alpha version here  

Okay an update to what I had before in reply #1, effects are working, but I am still getting the cursor flicker.

Laggy control panel buttons:

If I roll the mouse over the buttons multiple times, fast, the buttons keep flashing even if my cursor is not on them, to make up for the times i rolled over them too fast. Is this a bug?

CFX Plus, Vista, Aqualix (but shows up with any cursor).

Trying to set to dynamic shadow causes the cursor to disappear entirely. I have to kill CFX and restart it to correct the issue (even when I use control panel to reset to the default windows cursor, CFX won't change the cursor unless it's killed and restarted).

Also, when setting the smoothness setting fairly high, the actual cursor hotspot can lead the cursor image by a noticeable degree, when the cursor is moved fairly fast. While it corrects, it's a bit of an annoyance.

Can't navigate the list windows using the keyboard.

Scroll wheel scrolling works well, scrollbar scrolling sucks (Clicking the scrollbar arrow or trough moves the window the same amount, very little).

When clicking the 'Apply' button, even if nothing has been changed, the cursor reverts to default ugly briefly, before showing the selected cursor theme.

Still messing with the program, I'm sure there will be more

Nice program, but right now, it's pretty flaky.

When you double click on a CursorXP theme, whether you choose to apply at that time or not, the theme does not show in the cursors list until the program is restarted. The list should be able to refresh when a new theme is added without requiring a restart.

Cursor disappears when using Flip 3D.

Zubaz, I solved the problem: I uninstalled CFX and downloaded Cursor XP from the download site at Stardock. Thank G-d I saved all my "numbers" and re-registered CXP.

I have the same "uneasy" feeling that Yrgal has:

"I feel like I've paid for an early Alpha version here  (  "

only I didn't pay....I used the "free" version. Guess what?
