CursorXP

Thursday, October 14, 2004 by SlowJustice | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am running a alienware alx amd with windows xpPro sp2
I installed CursorXP last night and it locked up my computer. it took me almost an hour to get it running again. I was lucky that I knew what to do but someone that doesnt know much about computers would have had to reformat. Every time the computer would reboot the cursor program would try to load and windows would shut it down an the program would try to start again over and over.. Dont get me wrong Im not complaining about your programs, I think they are great but there is a problem with cursorXP that you might not have known about..

Hiya SlowJustice....if you are having that serious type of problem with a piece of Stardock Software, you should email Stardock's Support. They would also need more details than just that you have an Alienware ALX, like system specs and what other software you are running at start up. This messageboard is a peer-to-peer board and we'll try, but you may not find the answers you need to sort this out.

Thank you for coming back and letting us know what the problem was. Many people do not bother to take the time do do so.
I am glad everything worked out for you. Is CursorXP working ok for you now though?

no.. there is no way I would even try to reinstall it.
I had to wait till the program shut down every other program running and would let me get taakmanager up.. I couldnt put the cursor over the taskmanager or every thing would start all over again so I used key commands to get to new task and from there I got to the uninstall file in cursor xp and did a uninstall.. so you see that if it happens to someone that doesnt know windows they would end up having to reformat.

I really like all the other programs an understand how hard it is to get all of them running without problems with all the updates and changes to windows. And when there is a patch for cursor I will try it again.

I am going to buy some of your programs in the next couple of months and Im letting all the people I game with know how great you can make windows look
