Mouse pointer missing

Postby Jonnybravo » 04.06.2010 11:20:59

Hi there!

I've been using this great app for some time, but in my computer I noticed something really weird.

Sometimes, my mouse pointer simply disappears and when I close Dexpot it appears again. This happens only on a window at time, more frequently in explorer.

I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bits version.

Could it be beacause of it?

Thanks,
Jonnybravo :cool:

as far as I can remember, we're hiding and showing the mouse cursor in just one situation: Black-out Desktop (Default hotkey is Windows-Key + F5).

It's probably not related to Dexpot. Any 3rd party apps running?

Yes, I've other apps running, like docks for example.

The weird thing is that this stops when I close Dexpot. Then, I run it again and everything is good until the next disappearence.

I've tested the program on Windows XP - 32 bits and this doesn't happened. Maybe I will test it on another Windows 7 - 64 bits to check if the problem is mine.

Are you sure that this couldn't happen for another reason?

Thanks,

Well, I discovered something interesting today. When I delete a file from a folder the "curse" wakes...

If you want I can make you a little video with the effect.

The other applications that I'm running besides Dexpot:
- CircleDock;
- Nexus;
- F.lux;

This three are running at startup as well as Dexpot... if you want a more detailed list or the video, I can provide them tomorrow.

Thanks,

I've tried it, but without success...but I've an update. This only occurs with SHIFT + DEL. I've only noticed it today, because I usually delete my files with this combination, but if I delete them with DEL alone, its fine...

Do you have a computer with Windows 7- 64 bits to test this?

remove Dexpot from your start-ups and see if the issue occurs again.
