I just did the following:

- Added the middle-click move disable option for 32-bit Firefox (worked fine)
- Added the middle-click move disable option for 32-bit IE (worked fine, but now the Firefox compatibility setting doesn't work) ]]> RE: Some compatibility options not working for 64-bit programs https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#20 Wed, 04 May 2011 18:48:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#20 DisplayFusion Ok, I finally got a chance to test this and I can definitely reproduce it.

Closed beta. Anyway Mozilla Firefox has Minefield, MSIE has a 64-bit version as well.

I have no problems working with regedit, as long as I know what I'm looking for.

//Edit, did some hunting and found the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software] tree. I deleted it, reinstalled DF, and found something weird.

If I add a compatibility option for no middle click moving for 32-bit apps it briefly works, but after some time the option stops working for most apps (and never does for 64-bit apps). I need to close DisplayFusion and delete its keys in the registry, then on restart it'll briefly work again before breaking.
Not 100% sure yet, but it seems to break for most apps (well, any app except 32-bit MSIE so far) as soon as I add any compatibility option for a 64-bit app. Removing this compatibility option will not make the 32-bit ones work again. ]]> RE: Some compatibility options not working for 64-bit programs https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#14 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:54:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#14 DisplayFusion Sure can!

Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a few days so only saw this yesterday.
I have updated to the last beta version (3.3.1 b11), but it makes no difference.

If you can tell me what steps I need to take to do a full uninstall, I'd be happy to give it a try. ]]> RE: Some compatibility options not working for 64-bit programs https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#12 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:50:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#12 DisplayFusion Hi jordi,

We've made some more improvements and Beta 10 was just released today. Could you try updating to that version and let me know how it goes? If it's still broken we may want to try uninstalling DisplayFusion, clearing the old settings out and reinstalling it. But if it comes to that I'll help you through it :)

I've updated to beta 6, but unfortunately it makes no difference. Just to make sure I've uninstalled Stardock's WindowBlinds and CursorFX, but apparently they aren't the cause of this either.

Thanks for still looking into this. ]]> RE: Some compatibility options not working for 64-bit programs https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#10 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:38:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#10 DisplayFusion Sorry for the delay, but can you try the new Beta 6 and see if it helps?

I am not altogether sure what happened: now the compatibility option doesn't work at all any longer, for 32-bit or 64-bit apps likewise.
If I disable middle-click window moving globally under 'Window Management' the option is properly disabled, but I can no longer exclude single applications with the compatibility options.
I tested this with a number of them, including MSIE 32-bit, MSIE 64-bit, Notepad.exe, Explorer.exe (Windows Explorer) -- none seem to accept the compatibility option any more. ]]> RE: Some compatibility options not working for 64-bit programs https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#8 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 02:23:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/some-compatibility-options-not-working-for-64-bit-programs/?ID=548e7e2f-fea5-404e-b53f-0f27fdd98f75#8 DisplayFusion Sorry for the delay, but can you try updating to the newly released version 3.3?

Hope you don't mind, but I've removed the log from the above post since I noticed some personal info is in there.

I just updated DisplayFusion to 3.2.0.116 by the way, same behaviour.
