I AM SO COMPUTER ILLITERATE

February 22, 2009 3:18:56 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have gotten Vista and have as of yet not been able to get FX  to work on my computer. I have read on these forums that it is not compatable with Vista. I wish I knew that because I purchased windows fx about 2 months before buying Vista   Also when I have posted problems on the forums, frequently I am asked for a screenshot of my desktop. I am so clueless about how to do this. I have googled on how to do this and cannot get the hang of how to do this. Is there an easier way to do this.....or one that I can pring and folow? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear your trouble, sparkleplenty. That cursorfx doesn't work with Vista is something that has been mentioned in the forums several times, but I notice it says the opposite in the Stardock ad for the product: https://www.stardock.com/products/cursorfx/ 

That might convince them to give you a partial refund (afterall, you did buy it for XP, and nowhere do you state you still don't have that machine and aren't still using the software).

I would also suggest reading the Stardock policy regarding refunds: https://www.stardock.com/stardock/sds_returns.html 

*edit...meant Windows fx

If you have Vista Home Prem. or better, there is a tool I love called Snipping Tool in the start menu that works well for me. Then I spruce it up a little with photoshop, or paint shop pro.

I think it's not about CursorFX but about WindowFX.

Either that or he's suffering from head-spin after chasing his sheep around the backyard.

Yeah, and his wears stocking, suspenders and stilettos. 

Says he got it so he could branch into veterinary medicine as well... but I has my doubts  Me thinks there's some 'other' experimentation going on there.... biological cloning perhaps.

WOW I gave up on reading that thread. I didn't see that. I think with the high heels it wouldn't be that hard to catch.

Well ya gotta do something with your hands... or boredom sets in.

Nah... didn't leave it out, just saving that one for the next round of ridicule.

Yeah, when I flew up in a 767 from Tassie I could have sworn.... but maybe I was mistaken.
