Fences Pro - Consuming Massive Resources

from Stardock Forums

I installed Fences Pro yesterday and, ever since, my system has been extremely slow. I've checked Task Manager and Explorer is constantly hogging 40-50% of the CPU. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Fences Pro a couple times. As soon as I uninstall it, Explorer drops to 0-1% CPU and stays there until I reinstall Fences Pro. Within a minute or two of reinstalling Fences Pro, Explorer jumps back up to 40-50%.

Also, if I go into Tools / More Tools and disable Fences, Explorer drops to 0-1% CPU. Within a couple minutes of re-enabling it, Explorer jumps back up to 40-50%.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a resolution?

Thanks!

This is happening to me, too. It seems to be due to Fences Pro pumping tens of thousands of text messages into the debug log file.

I haven't found a way to stop it other than to turn off Fences, which is a shame. I tried to submit a ticket on the support site, but it was unable to save any of my reports. So I sent them an email.

My fences weren't locked either.
