Note that after updating to Beta 2, you'll need to restore your settings backup. Here are the steps:

• Update to Beta 2
• On the Settings > Options tab, click the Restore Settings button
• Select the backup file that has 5.9.9.101 in the file name

Sorry for the mess-up! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-lost-on-upgrade-to-600-beta-1/?ID=0cacb6e5-7e26-4864-a3f6-50fd36bd5a26#4 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:25:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-lost-on-upgrade-to-600-beta-1/?ID=0cacb6e5-7e26-4864-a3f6-50fd36bd5a26#4 DisplayFusion I still have all of my settings after updating, but ALL of the settings are blank (e.g. no check-boxes are checked, pull-down menus are blank, no text input fields have text, nothing in the Window Location and Compatibility tabs is listed, etc.). I'm afraid that if I click "Apply" on the settings menu that all of my settings will be gone, so I can't really make any changes to test what would happen. Also, despite it saying that I have the Pro version, on the Window Location page, it says "Upgrade to DisplayFusion Pro to enable this feature!" at the bottom (yet all of my previously set rules [which aren't being listed] still works). ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-lost-on-upgrade-to-600-beta-1/?ID=0cacb6e5-7e26-4864-a3f6-50fd36bd5a26#3 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:09:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-lost-on-upgrade-to-600-beta-1/?ID=0cacb6e5-7e26-4864-a3f6-50fd36bd5a26#3 DisplayFusion I had no settings issue.

I backup my DF settings weekly. Didn't you guys have a backup?

It got to the point where Beta 6 wouldn't even display anymore and caused my computer to crash. Had to do a complete uninstall including settings and reinstall 5.1.1 again. Now I have to re-do all my settings. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-lost-on-upgrade-to-600-beta-1/?ID=0cacb6e5-7e26-4864-a3f6-50fd36bd5a26 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 00:49:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/settings-lost-on-upgrade-to-600-beta-1/?ID=0cacb6e5-7e26-4864-a3f6-50fd36bd5a26 DisplayFusion When I upgraded my DisplayFusion Pro installation from 5.1.1 Beta ? to 6.0.0 Beta 1 some of my settings were lost. The ones I noticed that were gone were my hot keys and my window locations. It also got rid of the taskbar on the second monitor.

I used Windows system restore to go back to 5.1.1, but now DisplayFusion says something is wrong with the language file, and when I try to set it to En-US, I get an error box with the following:

Extra Keys found in this language file:
- formmain_strings_nvidiacheckprompt
- formmain_strings_nvidiacheckreboot
- frmsettings_options_btnrestorenvidiafiles
- frmsettings_strings_nvidiafilesrestored
- frmsettings_windowmanagement_chkalttabenabled
- frmsettings_windowmanagement_chkalttabshowdesktopwindow
- frmsettings_windowmanagement_chkalttabshowwindowtext
- frmsettings_windowmanagement_gbwindowmanagementalttab
- words_neveraskagain

ps I tried backing up the settings in 5.1.1, installing 6, then restoring the settings, but it didn't work ]]>
