Windows 8/8.1

from Stardock Forums

Many many people have upgraded to Windows 8/8.1. It`s surprising that Cursor FX has not been made compatible. Is it something that soon will happen? O:)

Ok, but the following is a reply to me from Brad Ather technical...

Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response. Over the holidays, Stardock has had limited support hours.

You may try their work around's or try it out yourself, but we cannot officially support it on Windows 8/8.1

Please let me know if you have any further questions/concerns.

OK, so it isn't yet "Officially" supported, but you said you have it working, I do, as well as others. A second thread was unnecessary. It works. Who cares if it isn't official.

Ditto. Just use it, nothing special.

 

Download it, install it (maybe install as administrator if it gives you trouble) choose a cursor, apply.   That's it.
