Problem with CursorXP Trails

Forgot to mention: the 'disable all' box is not checked.

Do you have this folder and is that were you unzipped them to? C:\Program Files\Stardock\CursorXP\Trail

Yrag - I originally installed Cursor XP in another partition, and the themes installed on that partition with no problem. Figured I'd have no problem installing the trails either, but I was wrong.

I saw the entry in C:\Pro Files but didn't give it another thought until I tried your suggestion - which worked. I extracted the zips in the Pro Files folder. My trails now show up in config/trail/image and I can change to any one I want.

Isn't it something that the themes will work properly when executed from another drive, but not the trails.

Thanks for your help.

As I thought more about trails and partitions, I don't remember having any problems placing trails in its proper home on my other partition - until - I updated to version 1.30.014, updated on 3/18/04. I don't want to uninstall & reinstall CXP to a previous version - I'll just have to remember to install trails in Program Files on C, rather than on my other partition.

Dovelady, try putting the png in the Trails sub-directory (not particles). I have CursorXP, with all the themes, trails, etc. on my E Drive and it works OK. I tried installing a new trail today (to check on your problem) and I mistakenly told it to install to E:\Programs\CursorXP\Trails and it made a new Trails sub-directory. I moved the png back up to original the Trails directory, Deleted the extra directory, and was able to access and apply the trail.

Hope this helps.

Jebland - I originally did extract to the Trail folder - but I'm always willing to try it again. So I downloaded another trail zip and extracted it to my CXP/trail folder on my G drive.

The thing is, is that I can 'see' these newly extracted .png/trails in my file manager (Power Desk), yet when I try to access them via the config/trail/image menu, they don't show up there for me to use.

Nothing changed this time either. Once I extracted the same zip to its default location in C:\Pro Files, then went to CXP config/trail/image, there they were, all ready for me to use.

I don't know why this has happened, because I can extract & use all CXP themes with no problem in their location on G:\. Something happened with this newer update, wherein I can no longer extract/use any trail zips in my G partition. Go figure.

Thanks for trying.

Maybe Powerdesk is the issue. I access my CursorXP themes and trails from Control Panel/Mouse and they show up there just fine.

Sorry I couldn't help. >

Jebland, I appreciate your help. The fact that you tried is what counts.
