Windows XP Animated Cursor Problem...

Thanks Burt,
I reloaded my cursors, one at a time, and they work fine. After I shut
down the computer and restarted, my animated cursors didn't animate. They
seem to be stuck on the first frame. I used Axialis AX-Cursors 4.5 to
create my cursors and I don't see anything wrong with them. I decided to
reload the original XP Plus! Aquarium Theme along with the Aquarium's
original cursors. Of course, they worked, but when I shut down the computer
and restarted the original Aquarium cursors didn't animate. I then chose to
load the Plus! DaVinci theme and cursors. The animated cursors worked, but
after I shut down and restarted the DaVinci cursors no longer animated. It
seems to be a problem when I start up my computer, I don't know whether it
is something in my Registry or something else altogether. I have checked
the Microsoft FAQ's and haven't had much luck. My cursors were working at
startup time when I loaded XP Plus!, about 2 months ago, but I must have
done something when I was creating my own cursors and theme. Thanks for
your suggestions.
