saxon1066 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hello! Every time I launch Cakewalk (latest version and for the past couple of updates), the mouse pointer goes nuts, blinks on and off between pointer and hourglass, and is doubled. It's enough to give me a seizure and actually makes it difficult to choose an existing project from the list. Upon loading the project, the problem goes away--it's just at startup, and it only happens for Cakewalk, no other software on my system. I have attached a movie showing the problem. Is there a way to fix that? I'm using Win 10, also latest update. Pointer 1.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustabo Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Try disabling your AV to see if it's causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcL Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If it happens only in the Start Screen, then it's possible to disable the Start Screen (Preferences > Customization > Display: Other:Show Start Screen = off). IMO the Start Screen is not necessary, because you can open the last projects and new projects from the 'File' menu. With new projects this is even better, 'cos there pops up a dialog with the basic project settings. And I swear that CbB starts really faster without SC! ?

Nope, it still happened with the start screen turned off. I'm at a loss. Already tried a clean reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
