Actuall, AzDude, I found a work-around. I turned off CursorFX as start-up program with msconfig, then rebooted. This will work, as I don't want to re-install CursorFX. I've already incorporated scores of cursors into the program, and a re-install will require that I reload all those cursors again, right?
Have a game that requires that Cursor** be turned off before play, or else no cursor is displayed. With CursorXP, I had a check box I could turn off the program and my default Windows cursor would appear.

I tried the Ctrl+Shift+C to disable FX, but then I wind up with no cursor at all. Assistance welcome.

Tried one and lo and behold my web browser opened to an activation screen. So that's where that activation link was hiding. Had a text file downloaded to my computer, after which I was to submit it back for activation. The web site claimed there was no record of my purchase despite my purchasing history showing
