I uninstalled Fences (previous version, not the newest). When I returned to the desktop, all the icons were gone and nothing I could do seemed to work. Is there a trick to uninstalling Fences so that this doesn't happen? Running Windows 7 on the computer.
Thanks.
I had this same problem today. New laptop, been using fences for years. Got the pay version of fences today because I can't live without it, installed and never got any errors, install completed as normal however I didn't get the customary "you just installed a new app, do you want to launch it for the first time" kind of screen.
Since I'm an experienced Fences user, I right clicked the desktop and saw the "configure fences" button at the top of the flyout menu, but when I click on it there's an hour glass for a second, it goes away and no message, no error, nothing.
If I righclick and drag I can click create fence here and then same thing, hour glass for a second and it just goes away and no fence.
I removed Fences from Control panel and thought I would try reinstalling. Removed, rebooted and the desktop was empty. Odd thing is that when I browse through my documents to the "desktop" folder, all my stuff is there, just the entire desktop is blank.
I reinstalled fences and although I have the same behavior (no fences config or fences created) after install my desktop icons immediately came back.
I'm confused? anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
