Yikes! This is working correctly in the latest beta... thanks :)

Hallo Keith!

Thanks again for fixing the random wallpaper from Flickr issue. There is a convenient button to pause the wallpaper changes (handy if one comes up you like *grin*). When restarting DF or rebooting that setting is reset and a new paper is loaded - can you save the state of that function to retain the pic on program restarts? I've figured where they're saved to manually reset - thanks :)

Could you try updating from the link below and let me know if it's indeed resolved on your machines?

I'll test it out here using Flickr's most interesting enabled, and hopefully I'll be able to reproduce the error.

Its set to use the image from Flickr with "use the most interesting option. There are no size settings, is this what you're referring to?

Ok, interesting! So you have your Desktop Wallpaper setup to randomly load from Flickr, and the Windows Logon Background set to use the Desktop Wallpaper image?

Could you copy the info from the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab to a text file and attach it here? If you could also backup your DisplayFusion settings using the "Backup Settings" button on the Options tab, and attach a copy here as well, that would be great! Hopefully with the same settings, I'll be able to reproduce the issue here :)

Thanks!

No I have the Pro version: When using Flickr Wallpaper feature I get:
An error has occured while setting your Windows Logon Background. C:\Users\JohanB\AppData\Romaing\DisplayFusion\WindowsLogonImage.jpg Wait time exceeded.

But it set the wallpaper no problem with Beta 14. Not sure what is timing out, a check to confirm that it is set maybe?

Using Win 7 64. When you select "Load next image" it seems fine. Only get this when it runs on interval/auto.

Thanks ]]> RE: Problem setting windows logon screen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#13 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:30:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#13 DisplayFusion @Johan: Are you getting the "You must have DisplayFusion Pro to use this feature" message? ]]> RE: Problem setting windows logon screen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#12 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:21:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#12 DisplayFusion I dont understand why the message is raised as it sets the wallpaper fine. What is the time-out checking for?

Hi there

I'm also constantly getting this error message. Could it be a 64 bit issue? UAC is turned off on this PC.

Thanks

Thanks for following-up! I'll check out the Open Log Location button too.

So I set the flag in the reigistry, then did a "run as administrator" on DisplayFusion as the admin account I used to set the registry flag, and I couldn't reproduce the error.

I added myself to the local admins group so I could run regedit as myself to set debug options for my account. After adding myself to the local admiin group I could then set the "Allow displayfusion to mange the Windows Logon Background" check box and apply the change fine, giving my own credentials in the UAC prompt.

Now I've removed myself from the local admin group, I can still set the logon background options fine as long as I give it a user account with admin credentials in the UAC prompt. Even using the credentials of the account I was using when I was getting the error.

If I can manage to reproduce the problem, I'll update this thread, and post the log file.

Incidently, if I run the app as myself, on the Troubleshooting tab, the button reads "Open Log", if I run the app as an admin account using "Run as administrator", the button reads "Open Log Location". ]]> RE: Problem setting windows logon screen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#8 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:31:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#8 DisplayFusion Yeah another customer just mentioned the same issue with enabling the Debug Logging. Looks like a bug in Beta 11.

So, you'll have to enable it manually via the registry. To do this:

- Exit out of DisplayFusion completely
- Go to Start > Run
- Type in "regedit" and click OK
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion
- Set the LogDebug value to 1
- Start DisplayFusion and check the Troubleshooting tab to make sure Debug Logging is enabled ]]> RE: Problem setting windows logon screen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#7 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:24:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#7 DisplayFusion If I still have the "Allow DisplayFusion to manage the Windows Logon Background" option ticked when applying the changes after ticking "Enable debug logging", I get prompted for UAC admin credentials again, and then get the original error messages again.
Without the "Allow DisplayFusion to mange the Windows Logon Background" option ticked, I don't get a UAC prompt when applying the changes after ticking "Enable debug logging".

In either case, when clicking on 'Apply' after ticking the "Enable Debug logging" checkbox, the checkbox is cleared and it doesn't apply any changes. So it looks like I can't enable debug logging either.

I've tried running Display Fusion with admin credentials using "Run as Administrator" too in case that was the problem, but get the same. Also when running it as admin credentials i'm obviously not licenced as it thinks it's the admin user running it.

If it's of use, I did have local admin rights when it was installed originally, but i've since removed my local admin credentials. ]]> RE: Problem setting windows logon screen https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#6 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:05:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/problem-setting-windows-logon-screen/?ID=70ef2174-87a2-48b2-bf0f-d5283e7c8b9e#6 DisplayFusion Ok, I haven't been able to reproduce the issue so we'll need to dig a little deeper. Could you do the following?

- On the Troubleshooting tab in DisplayFusion, enable debug logging and apply the settings
- Click the Open Log Location button
- Reproduce the issue and note the time
- Email the DisplayFusion.log file and include the time that you reproduced the issue to me at support@displayfusion.com

I can't remember it, and the Find a licence option on the site doesn't seem to find any e-mail I use. The interesting bit is if you skip the licence key option, it remembers the licence key from the previous installation so it's not needed. ]]>
