Cursors You Have To Try

Ok, so you've skinned your Windows UI, added a funky wallpaper, switched out your icons, and tossed a few gadgets around your desktop. Your UI is fully customized. Well, almost fully. Chances are you still have that regular, boring windows cursor on your screen. If that's the case, go grab yourself a copy of CursorXP and check out some of these killer cursor themes.
In my opinion, these are some of the finest cursors done all year.

CursorXP works fine on Vista for me.
Give it a try if you haven't yet.

I have tried CursorXP on Vista a few times. It runs fine until you have UAC popup, then the cursor disappears. At least that is what has happened on the 2 machines I have tried it on. True I could just disable UAC with Tweak Vista, if I really wanted to. It is just one of those annoying glitches.

I have the UAC turned off. Guess that's why it works for me. Good to know.

I have UAC on, but set to auto-elevate without a prompt - think it would work?

I do have UAC turned off; while I can turn on CursorXP, my problem is that within about 10 minutes or so of turning it on, the cursor gets jumpy. I'll try move the cursor, and it will take a little to actually catch up with with my request (sometimes as long as a full second). Once that behavior starts, it doesn't stop until I disable CursorXP, restart Vista, then turn CursorXP back on. "Regular" cursors don't do that.
I may not have a computer with the highest specs in the world, but they're much higher than necessary to run Vista Home Premium and a bunch of other programs at once. I've tried futzing with as many settings and programs as I could think of, done a lot of web searching, and even tried using a diagnostic boot to try to find which program might be interfering with CursorXP. I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like you'll have to wait for Cursor Vista, I must just be lucky...for once.

I'm real proud to have my cursor up there with all that great art work.
BoXXi, your cursors look good, I'll check 'em out when I get home form work in the morning.

CursorXP is very unstable in Vista so I don't use it anymore, haven't since Vista...any chance we can see CursorVista soon?
