Mouse Color not Working

[Ray]

I'm no longer having any problems now that I've updated to 6.5.1, 
working on Windows 8.1.  I haven't tested on a Mac or in a standalone yet.

Paul, many thanks for this workaround.  It may come in quite handy when 
I distribute and need it for the Mac side of things.
