Won't install in Windows 8

January 22, 2013 10:10:45 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I'm trying to install cursor FX based on your assertion that it is compatible with Windows 8 but when I start it I get an error message saying that the operating system is incompatible. I deactivated my symantec sercurity - didn't help. Can you help?

I can only help by saying it works on 8, I have it on 8.

 

You using Stardock Central to install?

Not using stardock central. Using download from cnet received from stardock. Is it because I'm using cursor fx free? When I use stardock central cursor fx doesn't show up.

The free version of CFX wouldn't be in SDC. And maybe it is the free version. i know that the paid version works in windows 8.

Am I missing something here. The extract below is directly from the Stardock Cursor FX web page

 

Perhaps the real question should be :

When will it be compatible?

How long do we have to wait?

System Requirements
●
Windows 7 / Vista / XP
 
●
CursorFX is not compatible with Windows 8
 
●
100MB free drive space
 
●
512MB RAM
