Cursor Editor Problem
on August 2nd 2006
Hi. I downloaded the editor for my son a few days ago. Things seemed to be going great until for some reason, whenever we try to create a new cursor with 'New Static Cursor' the editor opens and the entire editor is blank, just grey with no tools, no toolbars or anything, just the titlebar that says 'RealWorld Cursor Editor'. I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and it worked once until after I opened the create animated cursor window. Then when I went back to create or open a static cursor, it was back to a blank RealWorld Cursor Editor window. Doesn't work even if I try to open any of the cursors delivered with the software. Any suggestions? I want to make a donation, but if I can't get the software to work my son will be disappointed. Help will be appreciated. Thanks.

One possible reason for this behavior is damaged configuration. To fix the configuration, shut down the application and either delete registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RealWorld\CursorEditor\Designer or run the application with /reset switch (-> "C:\Program Files\RealWorld Cursor Editor\RWCursorEditor.exe" /reset).
Please let me know if that helped or not. Such errorneous behavior may also be caused be an unexpected conflict with other software. Do you have any software that modifies look or functionality of all windows?

Hi, Thank you! The reset switch resolved the problem. After running the reset switch, I worked with the cursor editor for a while, opening and closing different files, and creating new files, and everything seemed to be working fine. I couldn't get the problem to happen again. We do not have any software that modifes the look or functionality of Windows.
I was wondering if any graphic commands or settings used in the cursor editor might have caused a problem when a file was saved. Then when the editor tried to open any more files it read something it didn't like.
Thanks again for your help, and for your quick reply My son is happy the editor is working again.

I am glad it was just this and nothing more serious.
The commands Tools->Layout Management and Tools->Configure Layout allow you to modify the built-in window layouts or create your own. A layout controls menu, toolbars and of course the windows you see on the screen. Changing values in the configuration dialogs can make the layouts unusable. Another cause might be a bug in the application (as always).

Hello, i downloaded RealWorld cursor editor, it all went fine for 3 days, until when i wanted to make a new animated cursor, it came up with a grey box. all the toolbars, but no editing feild. similar to the other person who has the problem with static cursors? can i do anything, or is it ment to do that?
on August 10th 2006
no, it is meant to work without problems. Try the same fix that is described above. Please let me know if it helped or not. Did you try to modify the GUI layouts before the problem occured?

No, Ive tried the advice above, it dosent work, ive tried uninstalling it then reinstalling 2 times, im out of options

Did you try to delete the items in registry ? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RealWorld\CursorEditor\Designer
please send a screenshot to info@rw-designer.com
on August 10th 2006
what do you mean HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RealWorld\CursorEditor\Designer?
on August 10th 2006
That is the registry key to delete, but if you do not know how to delete it in regedit.exe, then please don't, it could be dangerous. Are you sure you have used the /reset switch correctly?

Now i know what you mean. Thank You. i will try it.

Vlasta: Is it just one .cur file or more? What happens when you try to open it?
when i want to open a cur. it says : the application failed to execute the requested action for unspecified reason... .
what should i do?

If it is just one cur file, it may be because that one file is corrupted. If it happens with all .cur files, including for example those downloaded form this web or those in your default folder with Windows cursor, that it may be a problem with the editor.
