On my Win 7, 64-bit Pro, system, DesKScapes 8.10 and earlier does not have this problem - just DS 8.51. Last week I reinstalled 8.51 to do some other testing and noticed that if DS 8.51 is not configured or has a single image selected AND IS PAUSED , there is no longer a "black screen" issue, for me. It only happens to me when not on pause (randomizing multiple images, or even a single image.) I do not know if the "black sc
There are two other posts on this forum re DS 8.x's possible incompatibility with Win 7, which have still not been fixed. Those posts are now "Locked," so I must mention them here: https://forums.stardock.com/473804/DeskScapes-85-Causing-Explorer-Crash-and-error-on-shutdown <a href="https://forums.st
Yes Neil, I did try that and uncovered yet other problems with DS 8.51. As a programmer, I knew that if enabling "Only show screen sized or bigger wallpapers" worked, in that it made DS 8.51 find ALL IMAGES regardless of size, that would indicate even more severe problems with 8.51. As it turned out, it did reveal yet another unexpected problem with 8.51; when enabled, DS 8.51 does not show ANY images in some directories that contain ONLY images that are larger than the screen s
I am running Win 7, 64-bit Pro. I have been trying to get DeskScapes 8.x (8.1, 8.51, etc.) to display all images in the "folder(s)" specified in the settings. If there are 180 images in a "folder," DS 3.50 will display all of them; DS 8.51 may only display a portion of them - I have counted the images available to each version. This has happened for over 3 years. I have requested that support perform the same simple, but tedious, test - they do not seem willing t
I have the same problem with missing images in DeskScapes 8.x. I have always had indexing on on my "wallpaper" directories, so that does not resolve the issue for me. DS 3.50 finds all images and works perfectly.
As " dominatro " indicates above, it does also happen with Win 7. There are multiple problems with Deskscapes 8.51, the blank screen is just one of them. Since support is still "looking into" these problems, I uninstalled 8.51 and reinstalled Deskscapes 3.50. The oldest version works best. Deskscapes 8.10 does not have the "blank screen" problem, b
I did reinstall DeskScapes 8 again. On the opening screen and throughout the software there is no indication that it even handles random wallpaper. The online description of DeskScapes makes no mention of random wallpaper ( https://www.stardoc
I updated my question while you were responding. There is a random wallpaper setting in WindowBlinds 7.42 under wallpapers option. The "Random Wallpaper Changer" that opens when you click on "Random Wallpaper Settings" often becomes "not reponding" and crashes. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans
