I just updated to beta 2 and it wouldn't start so I tried to start it manually but it always disappears. Any way to revert to beta 1? I can't seem to find a link to the beta 1 download.

Oh also this is on Windows XP SP3

Reverted to 3.4.0 until this is fixed.

I have rolled-back to Beta 1 until we can figure this issue out:
http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/

If any of you can help us troubleshoot this issue before you rollback it would be much appreciated! Just install Beta 2 from here:
http://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/DisplayFusionSetup-3.4.1-Beta2.exe

Next, use regedit to set HKEY_CURRENT_User\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\LogDebug to a value of 1. Then try launching DisplayFusion. If it fails, it should generate a log file here:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log
or
%APPDATA%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log

Can you please post this log here so we can see what is failing? Thanks for your help!

Also, what anti-virus/anti-malware/firewall/system protection are you using?

I have put together a new test build, can you please download this and give it a try:

Thanks a ton for the log file, it helped to narrow down the issue quite a bit. I'm interested to see if Beta 3 will work for you. Thanks!

Looks like it's working; at least it launches. I can't fully test it until tomorrow because someone is borrowing my XP machine and they're only using 1 monitor but I don't show any issues from 1 monitor remote desktop.

And it's no problem to send a log, that's what BETA is all about.

Thanks for following-up so quickly, I've just released Beta 3 publicly. It's the same build as the test version here, so you can continue using it. Let me know if you run into any more issues like this with Beta 3. Thanks!

Ok, rolled back to beta 2. Attached the logfile. Updated to beta 3, runs correctly without incident.
