Don't understand why so complicated ?

CursorFX when installed correctly should have no problems changing from a theme to the system default.

I have found that after installing a program doing a reboot is often needed.

What version are you using? (click on About)  Free or Plus?

edit: A corrupted CursorFX Theme file can cause issues but we can check that a little later.

I just completely uninstalled CursorFX and all related files and folders. Re-installed CursorFX, rebooted and the same cursor, Desktop Warbird, that I had downloaded on the earlier version of CursorFX is present and cannot be changed, even when I try one one the pre-loaded cursors on the CursorFX program.

Also, when I download a new cursor, where do I save it to. Tried Libraries/Documents/Stardock/CursorFX/Themes ! New cursor will show up there but is not available to apply, in the program itself !

Using the free version, which I've used for years, no problem and was going to buy, but if I can't get new cursors to work, might have to uninstall and forget it !

Thanks for your quick reply Big Dog !

That Desktop Warbird cursor is driving me nuts !

Sorry Version 2.11 downloaded from Cnet !

When you download a .cursorfx file all you need to do is double-click it to install it automatically into CursorFX.

It sounds like you have an installation issue.  I'd suggest installing again and making sure any security software is temporarily disabled, and that you are running it as an admin.

Ok. Just reverted to the boring Windows 7 cursor. Right clicked on CursorFX, ran as administrator, opened and BAM ! There's old reliable "Desktop Warbird" cursor, up and running and cannot be changed, unless I revert back to the windows cursor !

For the 3rd time, I'm going to uninstall CursorFX, remove ANY Stardock/CursorFX files and folders and reboot.

Then going to download the free version via CNet, that Stardock sends you to, reboot, run as admin and see what happens !

Can you not download and install more cursors, using the free version ?

Yes, you just can't recolor, resize or add effects.

How are you uninstalling CFX? Add/Remove leaves too much junk behind. You won't get a clean install. I use Revo Uninstaller to remove it.

Revert to Windows cursor first.

Run on Moderate, then scan with it and remove only the things marked in bold print. You can get Revo free HERE.

Reinstall CFX.

OK, just finished re-installing CursorFX, after un-installing using add/remove and also deleted all stardock files leftover !

Opened CursorFX, running as admin and guess what cursor is listed at top as current theme? Yep, Desktop Warbird !

And after I apply it, which it shouldn't be there as I had downloaded it using an earlier version of CursorFX, that I had un-installed, it will not let me use any other CursorFX themes ! WTH?

Anyways getting late for me. Will try revo tomorrow and want to thank all of you for your input, so far !

Support has a fix. 

Email them.

OK, got the pesky problem above solved with help of Stardock support and you people here............thank you !

Now, the next question !

I'm trying to download and install some new cursors, which is what caused the problem above and I do not want to go there again !

Where do I save the cursor, I'm downloading, to ? Would think downloading and installing new cursors would automatically know where to install to, especially since I'm using the link provided in the CursorFX program itself !

Thanks in advance !

Bump!

In W7 goto Documents > Stardock > CursorFX > Themes and put the *.CursorFX file there.

Actually CursorFX files go in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes
