from Stardock Forums

Hi,

have Fences version 3.0.3 with W10. Fences worked very ok till yesterday. I am not aware of any changes to my W10 system. Today "Fences does not appear to be loaded you may need to reinstall Fences". Pls help.

Thx

Fences is up and running again - although I did not do anything. No re-install, did not take any action. Just waited :-)

Case is closed (at least for the moment).

Thx

Robert

I second this. I attempted to uninstall, restart PC, reinstall, restart PC and the same error is occuring.

Same here..  I just get a blank desktop (blue for me) and until I right click somewhere no icons or fences..

Is this connected to a tablet On/Off somewhere? I think I saw it early on but no longer.

 

Works OK, I guess, but should appear straight away as before

This only happens for me when explorer restarts after a crash.

 

Fences doesn't atuomatically restart with it.

I'll try a reinstall and get back to this if it worked.

I'm using 3 different setups, 1 4K monitor, 2 4K monitors and 2 1920 X 1200 monitors. No matter which box I check (save resolution, don't save....) at least twice a day Fences gets hosed. Normally blank desktop, sometime white fuzzy screen like windows froze for up to fifteen minutes. Sometimes can be fixed by restarting, others by re logging. I know everyone likes to complain about windows, but I don't purchase software to hear complaints from software provider, I purchase software to it WORKS! period, something the new generation of programmers seem to miss.

Don't complain, just fix it! So far this is the worst operating piece of software I have every used in the 40 years I have been using computers.

Too bad it is so d... useful when it works, you can't just dump it.

I have this problem too. The purpose of forum is so folks don't have to contact support. Can anyone share a solution? thanks

Neither of those 'supposed' solutions have gotten anywhere, so before you tell us in the forum 'contact support' I suggest you do you homework about the lack of response from the support team.......

What was your ticket number?

Island Dog, since multiple folks are having the same problem, it would be helpful to post the solution in the community forum, so other folks can see it. Then, If it does not work, they can submit a support ticket. Seems like that could save some time for everyone.

Work was done in 3.0.4 to address this issue.

If you are having this issue and are using 3.0.4 please contact support.

Because this issue does not affect everyone it becomes more difficult to determine all the root causes.  More information is needed and the support team has ways to collect it.
