Did you contact support?

yes, they made me uninstall and install again... it was worthless.

I purged system with the app of the link and after i reinstalled software. Result: i lost all my fence settings and i'm still having the black square problem

We only ever had seen this issue on Windows 7 that had Aero / DWM issues.

If on Win10, I would recommend a rip and reinstall of your video drivers.

Use the link(s) below for updating depending on your video card:

Nvidia:

Note: Please perform a "clean installation" if you have an Nvidia graphics card. The below screenshots will help with how to do that:

I am having the same problem.  Fences had worked nicely for years, then my HDD crashed and everything had to be reinstalled, including Windows 10 Pro.  Now I get random black squares and sometimes a black background.  Tech support could only say purge and reinstall, but the problem persists.  

I have three displays on my system and the problem reliably presents when moving to other desktops.

I really would like to continue using Fences, but the black superpixels is a show stopper for me.

As I suggested above, if you have recently reinstalled Windows, you are going to want to make sure you have updated video drivers as well.

I am having the exact same problem.  I have a fast gaming machine i7 with 16GB of memory and SSD.  I know it's not my computer.  

Have Stardock replied with a fix yet or do we need to get a refund for this know problem?

Its natural to believe / think that but it rarely the case or we would see it more (Fences 3 has been out for a long long time).

Please see reply #9

1. 2.   Fences 3.09

3.   I thought it was my pc and did a new OS load.   The minute I installed Fences it started back.  The monitor, or portions of it will turn black, then the entire screen and change again in no certain order.  Sometimes I can use Update when I right click on the desktop and it will clear it only to come back in a few minutes.   I have an NVidia card and the entire hp Envy is factory stock.    This is not new, it has done it for a couple of years but became really an issue in the past several months.  Both drives are SSD.   I really like Stardock and especially the Cusor and Fences and have been a customer for years.   I downloaded a couple of others last night and none approach Fences when its working.  I sure wish you luck in finding the problem because it looks like it is widespread.  Thanks  Dr. Mike Fariss  *************** 

Hello Dr. Mike Fariss,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried any of the suggestion steps mentioned by Support above? https://forums.stardock.com/480588/get;3697499 and Cleanboot as mentioned here : https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#cleanboot. Try it one at a time reboot is a must. Retest it and report back.

I do not want to speak too soon but the display going black in various places cause me to get rid of Fences after years of usage.  Two days ago, on a whim, I changed my background from a plain solid blue to the official windows 4 panes with reflection and then I loaded the old Fences 2.o and used it for a while.   Then I loaded version 3 and have been using it for two days with no display problems.    If it starts back I will try to determine what changed.   So far, So good.
