cursorfx crashes

December 22, 2022 6:44:04 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Cursorfx was working fine until I tried to switch to the Leawh theme.  It would not do it and crashed.  I tried and tried and kept crashing.  Then I restarted and when it finished the leawh theme was present but the program still crashes if I try to open it.  Any fix?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, what is "The Leawh theme"? If its a cursors style can you post a link to it.

Thanks

So I uninstalled cursorfx and reinstalled and tried leawh again and same result.  So I uninstalled and reinstalled again and deleted leawh from the folder and used another theme (position) from the program and it works fine.  Evidently leawh is flawed.

Yes it is a cursorfx theme I dl'd a long time ago and it worked fine on the old program and under Win7 but it doesn't seem to like Win10 so I did what I said in my prior post.  Thanks for your concern.  Here is the link to that cursor: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/cursorfx/search/leawh

You are right. That theme crashes CursorFX. Go to this folder C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Stardock\CursorFX and delete the file CurrentTheme.CursorFX. That should make you able to choose another theme.

You should also go here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes and delete the Leawh theme to prevent you from applying it again.

Edit: See you got it fixed already. Great.

I did notice that not all that cursorfx theme's cursors showed in the program.  I checked the theme from that theme's website and it has more than 3 cursors.  When I could see the program before crashing I only saw 3 cursors for the theme in the brief flash of the program before crashing.  I don't want to re-download because I am afraid it will crash the program.

Hi Janoscar,

Thanks but I don't have the folder you described for that current theme fix.  Not sure why but I don't have it on Win10

You have to replace the red text with your user name C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Stardock\CursorFX

Hi again Janoscar,

I do have a folder labeled as "owner" without my name and it has all the subfolders you mentioned.  Is there any way to change it to my name?

No. The name of that folder is the same name used when you log into Windows.

I googled a solution and used the search feature to change Owner to my name

That, I don't know. I have never seen the the C:\Users folder with anything than the user(s) of that computer + the Public folder.

just installed Cursor FX on Windows 11 (maybe that is the problem). Opened program, clicked on Effects and Blue Circle and Apply. Crashed.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know.

  1. Windows 11 full version number. Use Winver.exe to get that.
  2. CursorFX full version number you trying to use.

Thanks

Another cursor that crashes the program is penthouse.  Too bad because that is a nice cursor.

Try this, first apply any CursorFX themes that come along with CursorFX. Than apply the effect. To apply effect, first pick the event, for example "Left button down" than pick the effect, for example, "Blue circle" click apply. See if it crash again. Report back.

Thank you,
