Hi, my first post and not sure if this is the correct board.
Please help because this problem is driving me crazy.
Yesterday at one stage, I turned off all the toolbars in DB Pro (newest version), and then turned them back on again.
My problem is that I can't turn the cursor toolbar back on - and I need it. It does show the option for the cursor toolbar, but clicking on it has no effect. Neither View>Toolbars>Cursor nor right-click>Cursor works. The link is dead, so to speak.
I tried uninstalling and cleaning my computer and registry of all traces of DBP I could find, restarted, re-installed using a different e-mail and keycode - nothing works.
Please! How do I get the cursors back?
I use Windows 7 Home 64bit.

Welcome to the forum!

So which toolbar do you see at the moment? Is it stuck on the solution explorer? Or do you just not see it at all? Posting a screenshot might help us identify the problem.

Whilst I am more than happy to help you sort this problem, I just wondered if you are aware that there are alternative IDEs available for DBP made by the community? The new DBP editor is known to have some issues and IDEs such as CodeSurge and Indigo can offer greater stability. Hope this is of some help.

Thanks for the reply.
At the bottom of the project panel I can see all the other toolbars but not the cursor toolbar (see left part of the attached photo). The part on the right shows a shot of View>Toolbars. The cursor option is "dead", which means nothing happens when I click there - it does not go on.
At this stage I know nothing about IDE's (I even had to look up what the abbreviation means). I will check them out though.

Really most of us don't even use that because it only applies to the CHANGE MOUSE command. We usually use sprites to make custom mouse cursors.

If you really absolutely can't live without CHANGE MOUSE you can manually add any cursors you want by editing the .dbpro file with notepad (look at the following snip and scroll down to ";> Cursors").
