Hi,

Yesterday I upgraded my previous DF version (3.0.6) to v3.1.0.
When restarting the application I noticed my wallpapers (I use a dual display setting, primary 1680x1050 & secondary 1280x800) suddenly were replaced by a nice blue background , however I never set that background color...
In attach you may find a screenshot of the displays as they are after DF started, as well as a screenshot of my DF settings screen, with the way the displays should show...

I never changed anything in my settings, I just upgraded from 3.0.6 (where it worked like a charm) to 3.1.0.
This morning I uninstalled DF, and found out it had been installed twice, once as "DisplayFusion 3.1.0", and once as "DisplayFusion", so I uninstalled both. After restarting my PC I installed the latest version, v3.1.1, only to find out the problem wasn't solved.

Anybody had the same problem, and (even better) knows a solution to this?

Thanks,
Obi

I too have had the same problem since I upgraded to 3.1.0, 3.1.1 hasn't solved the issue either

On top of your problem I can't even change the desktop wallpaper via the desktop applet unless I set my theme back to the Windows XP one!!

Also the background colour is the one that has been set in the Desktop Applet under the Appearance-Advanced settings. Change your Desktop colour and see what happens.

I've even tried getting a Pro Trial license to see if that resolves the issue and it doesn't.

Windows XP SP3

Tried that checkbox option, no difference.

Strangley though if I activated ActiveDesktop and then resized the web page I could see my backgrounds!!

Right, if Active Desktop is disbaled then all I see is a blue background! no matter what the status of 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' checkbox is.

If Active Desktop is enabled then I can see my home page on the screen, if the HomePage is not maximized I can see the backgrounds behind the HomePage!

If Active Desktop is enabled and I check the 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' option then all I see is a blue background!!

HTH

Right, further to the above :-

If I open the wallpaper settings then just click apply (without changing anything), if my background was the single colour the Wallpapers will show (and vice-versa), if I click apply again then single colour background again, click apply again Wallpapers show.

This behaviour occurs no matter the state of the 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' option and ONLY if AD is enabled!!

Hello,

I am having the same issue, using Windows XP SP3. With 3.1.0 and 3.1.1, when I click apply I get the blue backgrounds. To get my wallpaper back I have to change the Windows theme to something else other than "Modified theme". I downgraded back to 3.0.6 (fortunately a co-worker still had the install file), and everything works as expected.

Thanks,

Im having a very similar issue. Running fine in 3.0.6 with one image on the left monitor and a different image on the right monitor. upgraded to 3.1.1 and now I only have a color on each monitor, no image on either one. I am running Windows XP SP3. I can change the background color on my display properties and that is what color appears on both monitors. Oddly enough, while the windows logo is upon the screen while the pc is fully booting, the images show properly. Once the pc fully boots the images go away. I tried to click on Adjust background for use with Active Desktop as suggested in earlier post and it didnt help, and didnt seem to stay checked when I go back to it either. Desktop in display properties states background is 'displayFusionWallpaper_1' and is a bmp. Any help would be appreciated (or a link to get 3.0.6). thanks!

Same problem as described by others above after upgrading from 3.0.6 to 3.1.1. Running XP SP3 fully updated. Going to downgrade to 3.0.6.

Hi,

Sorry for my late reply. I only use this tool on my office PC, so checks & updates only happen during office hours ...

What version of Windows are you using? -- using Win XP Pro SP 3
Try applying wallpaper in DF with the "Adjust wallpaper for use with Active Desktop" setting checked? -- tried it & didn't saw any difference. All I keep seeing is the same blue backgrd as before (and specified) in Display Props' Appearance tab.

Also, as tpheasant specified Yesterday at 12:09:09 pm, as long as the windows logo is on the screen while the pc is booting, the images show properly. Once the PC has started logging in the images go away.

I attached the contents of the Troubleshooting tab as of this morning.

I just tried to use the new update provided Yesterday at 07:02:41 pm, and I have to admit it failed doing what it was supposed to do (solve this issue?). The problem remains the same

This is what I did:
I renamed the original DisplayFusion.exe to DisplayFusion_old.exe, copied the reworked DisplayFusion.exe into the install folder and restarted the program. To no avail so it seemed ...

Any other ideas always welcome.

Thanks,
Obi

Done for you, two logs attached, one with AD Active one with AD Disabled.

Also tried your new executable with no change.

Cheers

Bob

Well that certainly has worked for me

troubleshooting is attached

BTW that regKey didn't exist, I had to add it manually

Well, I can join bobjbain's dance... It worked for me as well, like a charm.
All I did after adding the path in my Registry (because it was missing like with bobjbain) was stopping DF and restarting it.

I also added a copy of the troubleshooting contebnts to this msg.

Thanks,
Obi

Yeah, I saw that in the troubleshooting too.

The bmp was generated in c:\temp which is where I set the reg key to point too

Stopped current version 3.1.1, deleted the regkey, downloaded & installed v3.1.2 & restarted DF, and ... it did the job perfectly! Thanks (a mln) for your dedication & time spent.

Obi

thanks for following up!
