Can you try the latest DF beta and see if you still have the same issue? Are you installing DisplayFusion to a protected folder, like in Program Files?

And if notepad++ is running as admin, the move to next/prev monitor buttton results in the window resizing to a smaller size on the same monitor instead of actually moving. Running notepad++ in non-admin mode works fine.

Perhaps vmware player is also running as admin (not sure how to check).

Both apps were working fine in earlier versions. ]]>
