cursor reverts to white arrow

from Stardock Forums

I bought CursorFX and like using the "Hand" cursor. The problem is it keeps turning off, reverting to the default windows mouse (white arrow). In the CursorFX program, I selected the new cursor and hit Apply. It works for a few seconds and after I click around...before I know it, it's gone!

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.

 

Gonna try uninstalling/re-installing...

Update: found out what causes it to revert to white arrow, but don't know how to stop it from behaving like that....

 

...I don't have a mouse -- I use a Bamboo Tablet. When I click the stylus' button, which I programmed to be "Pan/Scroll", this is what causes the cursor to return permanently to being the default white arrow.

I don't want to change my tablet's configuration. I've been using it this way for about 3 years.

I have a Dell Touchpad that acts the same way.

Also, I have two touchscreen rigs that do the same thing. Cursor is skinned until I touch the screen, then the default Windows cursor appears. If I do the CRTL/Shift/C key combo, I get the skinned cursor once again.....until I touch the screen.

 

It is my guess that my scratchpad, and touchscreens, and your Wacom all share a technology  that isn't compatible with CFX.

 

Or, my scratchpad, and your Wacom both simulate touch, which is not compatible with CFX.
