That did it! Had trouble finding it in Windows Task Manager as it wasn't listed in a logical way. Eventually found an obscure reference which was duplicated for some odd reason. After disabling both in Startup I was able to reinstall the latest Fences version successfully on my next reboot. Thanks for your helpful suggestion, it worked! Adrian
Sean Fences is installed in the default directory. It cannot be moved from there as that option is not available to me anyway. I will try the other suggestion and see if that makes any difference though. Adrian
Ah! Thanks for your reply but you may have missed the point here (or I didn't make it clear enough in the first place). That is exactly the link I followed before and it did not purge Fences at all, only destroyed my layout and the fences program. I cannot get rid of anything to do with Fences or the program itself so purging in this way fails (everytime). All the icons are superimposed in one position so Fences does not work and I cannot remove it either. That is my dilemma!<
This has become a daily frustration which is a new experience with the Fences program (that I have valued for years). Fences refused to update after the usual issues mentioned elsewhere in this community. I have exhausted all the advice and fixes recorded here and still I have a broken version of an old Fences program on my PC. I cannot get rid of it or change the re-install directory and every attempt just loses the snapshot and I have to start over with the broken version.</
