I've tried it with Vista but it really slows things down on my system.


Vista is already slower than XP. But ya got all those cool graphic effects. Life's a trade off...........

Hi,
I actually have Vista and am using the cursors no problem. What I did was downloaded the cursor I wanted, I went to my mouse properties and found Cursor XP, saved it as whatever the cursor name is, it then said I didn't have administration rights which I do, but anyway it asked me if I wanted to save it in another folder, I said yes, then saved again, and it is in the other folder instead of being in the mouse properties that's all, it works and I use the cursors no problem. I hope that helps.

Vista is already slower than XP.


That's news to me....on my XP/Vista dual boot rig, Vista is actually faster than XP, both at startup and running apps/processes, etc. (AMD Athlonx2 4600+ 2.6ghz (dual core), 4gigs DDR400 RAM) Think it has much to do with the PC its on....naturally Vista will struggle on an older/lower end machine with insufficient RAM and CPU, but should be quite fast and stable on more modern/high-end machines....

For example, my nephew bought a new PC with Vista Home Premium pre-loaded and was complaining it ran "like crap" and kept freezing up....I took one look and saw he only had 512mb of RAM, and certainly not enough to run Vista smoothly. I upped it to 1gig to start with, but now he's running it on 2gigs of DDR400 RAM, an AMD Athlonx2 4400+ 2.2ghz (dual core), and is now crowing about how much better his PC is compared to his mother's and sister's, who both are still on XP Home.....

It's sort of akin to trying to run a high powered/highly tuned NASCAR on mower fuel....it will run, sorta, but nowhere near its optimum performance.

Not all Vista user's can use CursorXP due to the fact that in some case's there are security settings with Vista. The which block the use of the program being written properly to the regs. If you have Vista Ultimate and know how to include programs to your group policy? Then there is no problems. This is not always the case with other Vista versions... thus with say Home Premium version it will sometimes work and in other case's it will not. To correct this you have to write your own permissions and policy in security settings for almost every file atleast once. Meaning upon install you can write these permissions and [it is less to do] if you do this on a install with as less files that will need to be changed for permissions. Once the permissions are written and in place. Then anything else will assume the same permissions when they are added to the program or folder of the program.
This is very tiresome and can be hard for some who do not fully understand group policy and/or permissions completely. Completely meaning also that the system has a set of it's own policy's to follow and will look at what is written to see if it complies.
In most case's with Vista Home Premium - the best way is to just turn off the UAC and not use it if plan to use CursorXP. This is needed to be done if you also have more than one user and plan to have them use CursorXP also. Otherwise written permissions will have to be made for all files for each user account.
Easy solution is to turn off UAC and hope it allows [it-being the system] you to have control of CursorXP.
This is about the only solution until the new Cursor Vista is released.

Good luck and no date has been set for a release of Cursor Vista as yet. But I feel it will and should be included with the full release of Object Desktop 2008. [hopefully]

what is uac


More info here: Windows Vista User Account Control Step by Step Guide
User Account Control (UAC) is a new security component Windows Vista. UAC enables users to perform common tasks as non-administrators, called standard users in Windows Vista, and as administrators without having to switch users, log off, or use Run As. A standard user account is synonymous with a user account in Windows XP. User accounts that are members of the local Administrators group will run most applications as a standard user. By separating user and administrator functions while enabling productivity, UAC is an important enhancement for Windows Vista.

and how do you turn it off
I use TweakVista
