You should see cursorlock.exe in Task Manager. Make sure Cursor Lock is actually running.The best advice I can give is as follows. It also seems as though some programs will override all system hotkeys altogether, annoyingly enough. This issue seems to be cropping up more and more, and I don’t really have a satisfactory answer as for why yet. Still not achieving a satisfactory cursor lock? Or something else weird happening? At this point, I’d be glad to try to help you.You might find that Cursor Lock either closed before your desired program was locked or never locked at all, both of which suggest that the wrong executables were selected. Run a Cursor Lock shortcut or a “Test” and then read the log to help determine what happened.

Next, try enabling the log file from Cursor Lock’s options.If you’re having trouble finding the right launcher executable, you might try the forever-useful Procmon and setting it to monitor “Process and Thread Activity” before running the program in question.Use Task Manager to help you see what processes go to what windows. You’ve got to select the appropriate executables for the Open/Lock Program fields, which can be tricky to figure out.Now if you’re grasping the operation of Program Mode but are still having problems, here’s what to do. Many programs (games) use launchers, which are executables that are separate from but required to execute before the main program executable. Most people get hung up on the difference between the “Open Program” and the “Lock Program”, thus it is useful (and perhaps necessary) to understand the general execution flow, which is as follows.īy separating the program that is executed from the one that is “cursor-locked”, it allows for launcher programs to be supported.

However, if you’re more of the advanced sort, you’ll appreciate that Program Mode only runs when you need it and thus doesn’t waste resources.

There’s even a handy shortcut to User Mode in your Start Menu. In User Mode, Cursor Lock runs in the background and you control it with hotkeys. So, if your eyes are glazing over at the prospect of having to figure out what is meant by a “Lock Program” and an “Open Program”, just skip Program Mode altogether and bask in the simplicity of User Mode. I understand that the underlying concepts involved in getting Cursor Lock to function correctly in Program Mode possibly exceed the capabilities of some users, e.g.
