Nimbin that's the smart way to have both installed without any conflicts. But as Daiwa stated he had CXP installed and running when he installed CFX. Now that would cause a big conflict. Both programs trying to run at the same time.

I took the time to read What U Guys Suggested. I manually installed The CursorXP to the new directory and it works fine. Thanks Guys

Both Vista machines ask me to reboot but XP didn't ask. I just rebooted anyway.

I have now installed and uninstalled FX 3 times, to be clear it works OK with the cursors that come with it, but for me XP themes have to be dumped into the theme folder and I lost them all in having to uninstall XP.
Zargon0225 says the themes go into %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes
but for me it is in Allusers>shared documents>stardock>cursorFX>themes.....

I had CXP Plus installed & active at the time of the CFX Plus install. The CXP theme I was using is still active


I think the problem people are having is CXP has to be uninstalled (save your themes first) before CFX is installed. I have CFX Plus running on 3 machines (Vista Ultimate,Vista Home Prem and XP Pro)and it runs flawlessly on all three. I dl a theme no matter if it's a .curxptheme or a .cursorfx file and click on the file I get a window that says:

Theme copied into theme common folder:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes

Do you want to make the selected theme the current theme?


ALMonty's fix quoted above seems to be the best solution so far, except you may have to search under All Users, either Application Data/Stardock or under Shared Douments/Stardock to find your cursor library. I don't understand why Stardock's software seems to put things all over the place, and not even the same places on all machines. During installations it gives you no ability to change directories or even a window showing where things are going. I love my SD programs, but these are problems, especially for us newbies. A little more pre-installation documentation would be nice, like a "MustReadMe.txt" file right on the download pages, giving any information about any special installation quirks. I didn't even know about installing programs through SDC when I first bought them.

ps: always re-boot after any of these installations just to be safe.

The latest build (2.00.004) now resolves the issue with CursorXP cursors not loading into CursorFX on download or double click.  Thanks for your feedback on this issue.

Just for verification purposes if you are having troubles still with CursorFX please make sure you have updated to the latest 2.04 release AND that you have CXP uninstalled. If you can reproduce an error you are getting please start a ticket with us at support@startdock.com explaining the error, how to reproduce it, and what your system stats +OS versions are. I will be more than happy to test out each situation and report it up for you.

Seabass, did SD update the free version also?

I just downloaded it and did the uninstall/reboot/ran reg mechanic/reinstall and still have the transpanrency issue I posted here: See Post #70 WWW Link

Also, the free version only says version 2.00 on the about page. I'll post a ticker on support for this transparency issue.

FYI Seabass I just put a ticket in #ODB-355055. Thanks. f

I can confirm also that downloading of cursors in FX has been fixed. I have the plus version and just downloaded a CXP skin and it loaded okay.

So Philly, no problem with CFX in XP when clicking on the border of CFX app, like when dragging the app around to move it? Maybe it's only the free version?
on Feb 08, 2008
How so? I purchased the plus version. I downloaded a new one. Saved it as CursorFX, hit save, hit apply, no go...?

I wish I could use some of the Special Effects (which I love) in CursorXP in CursorFX.
on Feb 08, 2008
Casey, confirmed. With free version, I cannot double click any CFX or CXP cursor themes in a folder and get them to work. Must use the CFX interface to get them to work. Not so much a bug for me but a lack of functionality. I'm more concerned with the transparency thing I put a ticket in for. Should we put a ticket in for this one as well?
