Cursors will not stay

Keeps going back to default when I start laptop.

My new HP Pavilion laptop seems to dislike when I change cursors. First I installed CursorFX from Wincustomize, each time I open the laptop from sleep it would not respond, I'd have to force it to shut down. I discovered what was causing it and uninstall CursorFX. Everything was fine but I wanted a less plain pointer and found this site. I downloaded a couple of sets and all seemed perfect for one day, but it now returns to default every time I start the laptop up. I'm baffled and not very techy. Tried several different cursors with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Why did the old 3D Bronze, 3D silver, and other system schemes from Windows XP get deleted when Windows 7 came out?! I wanted these cursors!

3D Bronze, 3D silver, Dinosaur, Windows Animated, Old Fashioned, Hands 1, Hands 2, and Conductor. (marked as "system scheme")

Check out wincustomize.com. You might find them as individual sets. Hope that helps.

What I am talking about are Windows XP cursors, not CursorFX.

@spaced-out(spaceman): No kidding Sherlock! CursorFX is a program NOT a cursor. There are windows XP cursors there, not all of them, as I have stated. Obviously, there's more than one and you'd have to look-see which ones you wanted. Example (so you get it): Different styles or "system schemes"/colors/transparencies/special effects, etc. You may find a tricked-out version of them. You need the image(s) to make into a cursor therefore you may need to do some work. In fact, I'm using 3D Silver but am switching to windows animated right now... If they don't have what you're looking for, pacifically, then just say that.

They are removed when either Windows Vista or 7 came out.

There's copies of them. There's modified versions of them. They're everywhere. You just can't find them???

The original ones, yes.
