The following guide should help you get it all setup!

Please let me know if you still run into any trouble at all.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-google-image-search-fails-with-google-image-search-api-call-failed-403-this-api-is-no-longer-available/?ID=890942e5-ca4a-4b32-b4b4-13b649c27c84#2 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 15:17:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-google-image-search-fails-with-google-image-search-api-call-failed-403-this-api-is-no-longer-available/?ID=890942e5-ca4a-4b32-b4b4-13b649c27c84#2 DisplayFusion Unfortunately, Google has shutdown their image search API. We’re investigating to see if there’s another method that we can use, but in the meantime, please switch to a different image source in DisplayFusion.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We will definitely let you know if/when we’re able to get the Google Images source working again.

This has been going on on multiple computers for the last month. Please help?

I've seen this behaviour on both Windows 7 (64 bit) and Windows 10 (64 bit)
