It was as soon as you asked if I could use the wallpapers regularly without DisplayFusion. I couldn't, so I guess I figured the problem from there.

Awesome stuff man. Have yourself an even better weekend. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#17 Fri, 10 May 2013 19:56:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#17 DisplayFusion Wow, interesting! That's great to know. I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out, and I'll definitely keep this solution handy in case any other customers run into the same issue.

Thanks again, and have a great weekend! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#16 Fri, 10 May 2013 19:26:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#16 DisplayFusion Oh hey, I got it working!

Went into %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\ And just deleted the slideshow and transcoded wallpaper.

Works now, transitions smoothly like it should. Thanks for bearing with me the last month, lol. You're freaking awesome, man. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#15 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:23:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#15 DisplayFusion Thanks Ray! The log is showing an access denied error when trying to set the wallpaper using IActiveDesktop (the method used for changing the wallpaper with transitions in Win7 and higher).

Are you able to set your wallpaper with the Standard Windows Personalization settings window without any issues? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#14 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:49:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#14 DisplayFusion I would hope this is what you're talking about. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#13 Wed, 08 May 2013 16:50:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#13 DisplayFusion Thanks!

Could you install that, and send a new copy of the debug log as per the instructions in post #4?

Unfortunately there's not detail as to why that is.

Would your machine happen to be on a corporate domain with a group policy that controls the wallpaper or active desktop settings? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#6 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:29:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-transitions-not-working/?ID=b874bbe8-68ba-4af7-82c8-4184e29da975#6 DisplayFusion Thanks!

• Enable debug logging on the Troubleshooting tab (set it to Logging: Important Only) and click Apply
• Restart DisplayFusion
• Change the wallpaper a couple of times (please note the time so I'll know where to look in the log file)
• Attach the %appdata%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log file to this topic (can be found by clicking the 'Open Log' button on the Troubleshooting tab)
• Disable debug logging after sending me the log

I re-downloaded DF and everything was working fine for a bit. Now the only thing that is wrong is the transitions from one wallpaper to the next. Instead of a smooth one it abruptly cuts to the next image.

I've had the problem once before and fixed it somehow. Don't remember exactly what. I've already tried uninstalling DF fully but it has not helped. Any suggestions? ]]>
