Read it a couple of times. Tells me what it does and the parameters but not how/where to run it or enter those parameters.
I've downloaded and installed it. When I click on the exe file, I get a RUN message which I click on....then nothing. No window opens to ask for parameters or anything and the cursor does not disappear.
As I said, not a programmer. I'm trying to set up a laptop to display a sonar sweep for a kids museum and everything works except the arrow cursor appears in the middle of the sweep.
What do I need to do or is there another way to blank the cursor arrow?
Appreciate any help.
I have to admit, for someone who is not a programmer it can be a bit hard to understand. You have to launch it from a command window ("cmd") or directly from "Run" from what I understand.
So, step by step:
1) Start the windows utility "Run" by pressing Winkey+R (or Start -> Run)
2) Type the full path of the nomousy.exe file
3) Add a space
4) Add the parameters
5) Press enter
If you want to run this easier, download Autohotkey (you are on Autohotkey.com, lucky you!) and make a script that goes something like this, and put it in the same directory as nomousy.exe
Code:
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%
Run, nomousy.exe /hide
If you want some hotkeys, do it like this for example (Windows+x for hiding and z for unhiding, in this example):
Code:
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%
#x::
Run, nomousy.exe /hide
SoundPlay, %A_WinDir%\media\ding.wav
return
#z::
Run, nomousy.exe
SoundPlay, %A_WinDir%\media\chimes.wav
return
The second example will run until you shut down your computer or exit the script. It's important to run them using Autohotkey (install Autohotkey, add the scripts to an .ahk file, and double click them) and that your AHK script is in the same directory as nomouse.
