CursorFX Plus and Windows 8.1
Solved Until SD Fixes It
Saturday, January 11, 2014 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Guys, I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro and CursorFX Plus 2.11.
CFX runs fine, but on the desktop, when I touch the screen, rather than use the mouse, the cursor ceases to be skinned, and the only way to get it skinned again is to reapply a skin with CFX.
This is an AIO Dell Inspiron One Desktop PC.
4 GB Ram, Pentium Dual Core E5400.
Since Windows 8 and touchscreens are becoming more and more widely used, I assume this shouldn't be happening?

The page does say that CFX isn't compatible. But on my main rig, 8.1, without touch, CFX works fine 100%.
One can wish.....

Workaround: Control+Shift+C to toggle the default (which it has already reverted to), then again to apply the skinned cursor.

CursorFX wasn't "officially" embellish for Win 8 yet,any contingency does occur.
