Any news on this issue?

I have the same problem on my new PC with Windows 10. When I disable Fences the "Show Desktop" command works without problem. With Fences enabled Windows Explorer crashes.

Same issue on version 3.05.12 (windows 10). Any solution?

Please contact support so we can get more information.

Come on

I guess we'll have to wait for a hotfix or an update

I have the same problem.  However, I'm on Windows 7.  Fences 3.0.5.12.

The problem only happens when I bring the laptop out of Sleep Mode and it happens randomly.  When it does happen, I have to disable Fences and then close (kill) Explorer to resolve he issue.

If then re-enable Fences, the problem appears immediately.  I have to reboot before enabling Fences again.

I did try a re-install of the software, but that did not help.  I going to start doing power downs rather than sleep mode and see if I can avoid the issue until a fix is found.

 I have also uninstalled Fences 3 due to this fault with the product, I will be attempting a full refund until such times as Stardock pull their finger out and fix it.

I'm not paying for something that doesn't work.

Never understood why software vendors expect people to put up with software that DOES NOT WORK!

If I bought toaster and it didn't work as stated, straight back to the shop for a refund           

That is a shame - I would have worked with you on it... 

What I have seen recently (and its still a mystery why) is that if you change your desktop(s) to a solid color, it stops.  I can theorize why but its just a guess atm.

Also, some who run 'Websense' have seen it as it want to scan the Win Explorer process where Fences exists and its unhappy about it.  That is more for corp users, however.

I'm a customer like you and I have another issue with Fences, so I understand your frustration.

I think you could help other users in this thread if you share the list of your installed programs in order to exclude any potential conflict with other programs.

For this task you could use CCleaner and the "Save to text file" button:

Hi

Bought Fences a few months ago and in the beginning all was well.

Now i get, almost the same error as everyone else here.

Mine differs a bit though.

The computer i am running it on is a company laptop, that is part of the domain.

If i start the computer while at work (And on domain) everything works fine (Almost, i have dual screen and even though i ticked "one setup pr. screen resolution" it sometimes fucks up).

If i have the computer in sleep and wake it up at home, everything works fine.

BUT....If the computer is off, and i start it up, somewhere, it can not access the domain, the computer will start but nothing on the desktop works, and if i click any icon, the screen is made whiter and explorer crashes. After doing this 3-5 times fences will detect that there is a problem and ask if i want to disable it.

If i answer yes, my machine is instantly usable....Minus fences.

Fences was not a very expensive program, but i still feel that it's a shame that i paid for something that does not work.

Hi, any update on this?  I'm having the same issue - also tried installing Fences 2.0 but that didn't work either.

Changed my desktop background to solid color but no luck there.  It is a corporate laptop, but don't think we're running websense.

thanks

It would be prudent to ask your IT people.
