Can you open up the DisplayFusion Advanced Settings window and set the "Generate Smaller Files (Lower quality)" setting to "Smaller files will be generated" and see if that helps after re-saving your profile?

Thanks! ]]> RE: Can't change Wallpapers with DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#9 Sat, 17 Jul 2021 12:43:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#9 DisplayFusion

Hello,

We want that nvsmartmaxapp process disabled, as it can cause issues with taskbar splitting.

GDI errors are typically caused by images that DisplayFusion can't open. Can you try saving your profile with a different image, and see if the issue persists?

Thanks!


I even tried it without any wallpaper ("Solid Colour") and it doesn't work either. ]]> RE: Can't change Wallpapers with DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#8 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 15:59:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#8 DisplayFusion Hello,

Hello,

Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:


Hi there, I've just attached the debug log (9:48:53). There seems to be a problem with nvsmartmaxapp64.exe which seems to be not running. Tried to start it manually and got the following error message in DF:

Code
Copy
Select All

nVidia processes have been detected on your computer that may cause issues with DisplayFusion monitor splitting. Would you like to disable them now?
Yes/No/Never ask again


I chose Yes but nothing changed.

I use a three monitor setup of which two are splitted with DF. Tried reducing it to one monitor without splitting but got the same error.

Thanks in advance for any help! ]]> RE: Can't change Wallpapers with DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#6 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 16:41:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#6 DisplayFusion Hello,

Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Hello,

Strange, so you can manually set the settings you want and save the profile, but it throws an error when trying to load it?


Yup, exactly. Saved some profiles but they always fail after trying to apply them. Doing it via the taskbar symbol isn't doing anything at all, not even giving me an error message.

Thank you for your answer! ]]> RE: Can't change Wallpapers with DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#4 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 16:42:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#4 DisplayFusion Hello,

Hello, ZBar will help you to choose separate wallpapers for every screen or a single image across all of them.


Thanks, this would be my second option since I use DisplayFusion everyday and I'd like to use the built-in feature. Even installed version 10.0 (Beta 2) a few minutes ago, but unfortunately got the some error. ]]> RE: Can't change Wallpapers with DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#2 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 10:35:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751#2 DisplayFusion Hello, ZBar will help you to choose separate wallpapers for every screen or a single image across all of them. ]]> Can't change Wallpapers with DisplayFusion https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 08:06:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cant-change-wallpapers-with-displayfusion/?ID=0383ec8a-1328-4ac4-baa5-4b5c04901751 DisplayFusion I created a new profile with DF 9.8 and tried applying it, but I always get the same error message:
