Please let me know if you run into any other issues.

Thanks! ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

But with Beta 13 it all works great.

Thanks so much.

That's the path to a ClickOnce application. I have a bunch of in-house developed ClickOnce apps that I use, and DF doesn't cause problems with any of them. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

If it's broken there too, we may need to just add it to an internal exclusion list in DisplayFusion. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

Nice safety net.
Will test on another PC because I am that way.

Thanks!

It may cause me to not be able to keep a compatibility setting. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

Let me know how it works out when you get a chance to try it on another machine.

Another thing you can try is creating a Compatibility rule in DisplayFusion to prevent it from hooking the ScreenConnect app. Detailed instructions here: http://www.displayfusion.com/KB/TroubleshootingInfo/#createcompatibilityrule

This PC has a 3D capable monitor (not in use) that causes Netflix to not work in full screen mode.
I have tried unchecking each of the checkboxes on the taskbar setup, tried each taskbar mode, set the middle click to "Do Nothing" and preview to Disabled, but no change.

Disabling the multi-monitor taskbar does stop the problem. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

I move the mouse over the DF tasksbar and it is interactive, in that the tool-tips pop up or the other items highlight as I move over them.
I keep checking for a few minutes, not clicking on anything, just seeing the items highlight. All Okay.
Turn away for few minutes without touching the PC and then recheck. No response. Click and the bar turns white. Send you a log. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

Well anyway...

I opened a session on my computer with Display Fusion running on it at approximately 2:47:59.85 and at 2:53 the DF taskbar locked up. ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

It failed last night after the new beta came out.

I've turned logging back on, have been playing with it, and no problems.
But after last night I am not convinced.
I think I need to look away for a bit. :) ]]> RE: DisplayFusion stops while I am looking away.

However, I've been running ScreenConnect, connected to a Guest for over a half hour, and it hasn't locked up yet. I'm using Windows 7 x64 for the Host PC, which version of Windows are you using?

Could you send me the debug log (%APPDATA%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log) again the next time it hangs?

Yes.
