^ There's the page on my site for it.

It basically gets your mouse position using the Win API function GetMousePos() and adds a line to the image every 1/45th of a second between your current point and last point. The results can be both artistic and interesting.

MSVCP100.dll is missing from my system, apparently
so is MSVCR100.dll
i downloaded them, but it still wouldnt work, they must be the wrong version?
you need to fix this

No I don't.

You need to get the VC++ 2010 redistributeable package, not just the dll.
The clue is in the name: MSVCR100.dll
MicroSoft Visual C++ Redistributeable

I added a part to the page telling where to get the packages.

Okay I get it, but why do say you don't need to fix it, it is a problem that can affect your users, tell them to download visual cpp

That's impossible to do in the program because they would need the VC++ 2010 redist to see the message in which I told them to get it.

I added info about the redist to the mouse tracker page, but it's not a bug so it doesn't need "fixing" as such.

Hi Jallen,

there is a possibility! You can link the msvcr statically to your binary. It may increase the size of it (300 -400kb), but in most cases it's worth it! Inexperienced users know nothing about the Redistributable Package and many of them won't even read your infos, so they will always think it has something to do with your game.

greetz, Eldo.
