I've a similar issue here. The wallpapers are not changing at all after I've installed DF 5.0 (even after a full reboot). I'm using Windows 8 Pro. With the previous version of DF everything was Ok.

Please any help. Thanks.

I've split this into a different topic, as I believe it's a different issue that you're running into. Would you be able to do the following to help us troubleshoot?

Enable debug logging on the Troubleshooting tab (set it to Logging: Important Only) and click Apply
Wait 5-10 minutes so that DisplayFusion tries to change the wallpaper a few times (as long as your interval is still set at 1 minute)
Send me the %appdata%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log file (can be found by clicking the 'Open Log' button on the Troubleshooting tab)
Disable debug logging after sending me the log

Thanks!

Got the log, thanks! The log indicates that the wallpaper changes are being ignored due to a Compatibility rule for iTunesHelper.exe. Could you please check the Compatibility tab for a rule for iTunesHelper.exe, and if it exists, make sure to enable the "Allow Wallpaper changes while this Application is running" option in the Compatibility rule?

Thanks!
