I have had this happen three times now with newly-installed SM 2.0: the cursor diappears over SM, but can still be used in other programs (if I am not in full-screen), and is still visible when I mouse over the Windows Start Menu. The program seems to be otherwise functioning, and is not locked up, e.g., I can still click/drag a selection box, and audio still passes. I 'control-S' to save my project, then force-quit (control-alt-delete) SM, since there is no control-key combination to 'Exit' SM. When I start up the program anew, it's OK again and the mouse is visible/working.

I am not sure what I am doing that initiates the problem. My impression is that this only happens at the top level of modules, and not always, but often enough on my first day with SM2 to report it.

Am I hitting some key combination I am unaware of? Please let me know if I should look for certain specific information to report back if it should happen again.

Windows XP SP3, (Macintosh Mac Pro Bootcamp) dual quad-core Intel 3.0Ghz, 8GB memory

Kind Regards, David

does it happen when you click at something or does it just in some cases this happens when you drag a slider and release the mouse click AFTER leaving the Mouse-Drag area.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
