Problem with cursorxp

Published on May 19, 2005 By RedBuzzard In CursorFX

I'm using cursorxp 1.31 and for some reason it is now acting wierd. When I mouse over either my rainlendar or my desktopx widget the cursor goes underneath these two items, nothing else. Anyone have a clue how to remedy this?

Have you tried emailing support?
I've been waiting until it happens again so I can send screen shots.

Hey Bichur, thanks for trying

Everytime I email support, the only thing I ever get back is the form letter, nothing else ever comes of it. I usually go in the chat room.

Try rebooting. It actually worked.

Read that form letter carefully...... you have to send a second email with the proper subject line to get past the auto reply.

I hate to tell you all this, but that problem of occasionally the cursor going under objects has been reported for about a million years. Either they can't find the cause, or it's not a priority. Maybe v2 will fix it.

If you use the cursors at a bigger size, try resizing it back to 100%.
I have had the problem of the cursor going behind message screens and other things too. Sometimes it becomes invisible.

I just recently started having the same problem, but generally it's only after I play a game. As soon as I close out of a game the cursor will go under all objects, widgets, winamp, etc. Rebooting my computer does work, but it's a bit annoying. Any idea why playing a game would causet his to happen?

Two days ago I dl'd/installed cursorxp. I LOVE IT!!! But today this same thing started to happen and now WILL NOT STOP! My cursor ends up behind some windows and I have to GUESS where it is. I have now disabled cursorxp, much to my regret.
Please fix this - give us a solution. I want my newly-acquired fantastic cursors back.

Sometimes switching to a different cursor makes it work again

I have found that changing then re-changing the screen resolution can sometimes whack things into the right order. It's the only thing I've found that will get the cursour back on top of everything without rebooting.

But, after doing this I usually have to unload and restart ObjectDock, because it's drawing icons behind backgrounds.

To the powers that be that have the knowledge that I obviously do NOT:
I figure the more specific details you get on this problem, the easier it will be for you to come up with a solution...
CursorXP worked wonderfully this morning, after my computer had a peaceful night's rest of being turned off. The cxp worked all morning perfectly - was in front of every window it should be.
Then I played online HalfLife Oz.
After that, the cursorxp was behind some windows. I used ccleaner, windows registry repair, played with a bunch of mouse settings and cursorxp settings, and restarted the machine --- STILL cxp would not come on top of some windows.
I completely turned off the machine, spun around three times waving my pet hamster Danny in the air, turned it back on, and whalla!!! It now works again.
Perhaps this will guide the "fixers" out there toward their ultimate solution.

I used to have this problem too, only after playing a full screen directx game. When I would return to the desktop, only occasionally, my cursor would "go behind" as I came to think of it.
I noticed that occasionally going back into and out of the game would restore the cursor. Sometimes, just changing my resolution would fix the problem. The only surefire way of fixing it was a reboot, no pet hamster required.
Since then I have got a new system, with a new graphics card, and have yet to see the problem. My old graphics card was a Geforce 440mx, my new one is a Geforce 6600GT. My general workaround when I was experiencing the problem, and didn't want to reboot, was to have a "toggle cursorXP" shortcut easily available (basically just a link to CursorXP.exe) which I would use if I wanted to use rainlendar or widgets.

same here. no clue why

I eventually deleted and uninstalled everything in question except for curXP, but i know you don't want to do that

Welp, apparently a good night's sleep does not always work. Today the lil' cxp guy STARTED OUT BEHIND some menus. Problem is, one of those menus is always my To: popup menu in my email prg and it's kind of hard to find the right recipient in the list.
I find it hard to believe that this problem has existed for so long and no-one has solved this. Do the "fixers" know about this thread? Do they read it? With all the computer geniuses out there, I would think this would be a challenge to at least one of them.
I want to encourage a friend of mine to get CursorXP but I can't do that if it has a SERIOUS PROBLEM! "Oh, it will work, most of the time."
