Hi

I was wondering if there is anyway to fix the wallpaper on starting the computer rather than just on changes.

Everytime my computer starts, the wallpaper looks like the attached images(2 monitors).

Have you tryed this?

On the main window (where you choose your wallpaper settings) click "wallpaper settings" and tick the box that says Warn me if my wallpaper needs adjusting and also tick Fix my wallpaper with out prompt.

Let me know if it worked.

I have that selected already.

I hardly use Display fusion to its true purpose, I only really use it for "move monitor and centre" which I love!

If I try to manually change the wallpaper, launch a program that changes resolution, disconnect/reconnect screen - it used to warn just fine (and now I ticked auto fix, it just goes ok straight away).

If I choose not to use the wall paper features of it, it works as expected - but I like having the multi screen Centre!... all be it for only the Windows Logo! (I hardly ever look at the desktop!... but I do need to get some better ones!).

I duplicated the profile, and when I switch, it fixes just fine... it is only when the computer first starts up (or Display Fusion starts) that it happens.

Hi Jon,

I don't really mind four minutes, but I have that option selected and after 3 weeks of uptime, I still have this issue...

My wallpaper looks exactly like the first screenshot.

The only way for me to change it/fix it is to clone the current setup/profile and then switch to the next.

Hi,

Thank you for the great product!

I’ve installed the lastest 30 day trial of Display Fusion version 3.3.1-Beta-19, and have the same issue as the original poster, Wil, above.

The only difference is I have my monitors one above the other.

I’ve sent the log file to Support as requested.

I have “ticked the box that says ‘Warn me if my wallpaper needs adjusting’ and also ticked ‘Fix my wallpaper without prompting.’ ”

I’ve also overridden the delay in displaying the wallpaper after startup as described in the post above.

It still doesn’t fix the wallpaper after startup unless I open the DisplayFusion program and click “Apply” again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also repeated the above with the box “Adjust Background for Use with Active Desktop” both checked and unchecked but this seems to have no effect on the issue above.

(I’m not sure if this is working correctly either, as I think I have “Active Desktop” turned on, but it seems to put the images on the wrong monitors when this option is checked.

It sounds the same as this issue: http://www.binaryfortress.com/Forum/index.php?topic=2245.msg10677#msg10677

I followed the instructions here: http://www.displayfusion.com/FAQ/#disableactivedesktop

but my registry did not have the entries "...\Explorer\ClassicShell" inside the "Policies" folder...)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Frustrated!* I hope there are solutions available!

Kind Regards!

I now have it working after re-trying a few combinations: I had "Fix my wallpaper without prompting" AND “Adjust Background for Use with Active Desktop” BOTH selected.

BUT... It still takes SEVERAL MINUTES to fix the squashed wallpaper images after Start Up, as it's waiting for other processes to complete...

Is there a way to have the desktop wallpapers ALREADY IN PLACE BEFORE the desktop becomes visible..?

It just doesn't look very pretty when you have two images squashed onto one screen...

Cheers!

No, it’s not working now (again)...

It remains with the two wallpapers squashed onto each monitor as per:
http://www.binaryfortress.com/Forum/index.php?topic=2437.msg11148#msg11148

Nothing changed even after waiting 10 minutes...

I wonder if there's a conflict with WinAmp..?

I had the desktop images working well after applying them with DisplayFusion, and then I just happened to open the "video and visualisation" tab in WinAmp and it messed up the desktop images to create the double image again.

Do you think it might be doing this on Startup?

I also have "Electric Sheep" installed (a screen saver): http://electricsheep.org - But this doesn't seem to effect anything after Startup...

Yes, the Picture Position is set to Tile.

Am producing log now...

Hi Keith,

I've tried all of your suggestions you emailed me, but still no difference...

If it would only start when Windows 7 does...

The shortcut is in the Startup folder. But there is something odd: Some of the DisplayFusion icons are missing..? See attached image.

Cheers,

Nic

Done. No change...

Yes, it does. It starts up and works fine after that. It just doesn't start with Windows 7 automatically.

...Is there something I can do to the registry to force DisplayFusion to start when Windows boots?

Yep, it's there!

Mysteriously, it's started working...

All I did was change "Wallpaper: Startup Change Delay" (it was set to 1) to 60, and then back to 1 again... So it's the same as before, just switched back and forth.

I'll email you the log and see if you can make anything of it...

Weird! Let's hope it stays working!
