DisplayFusion v2.2 contains a number of bug fixes related to hotkey handling, I was just wondering if it would clear this up. ]]> RE: Custom hotkeys always revert to default settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#6 Mon, 19 May 2008 04:01:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#6 DisplayFusion I've had this problem almost since day 1. I haven't upgraded to another version. I bought my pro key & installed v2.1.1 right when it was released, probably 3 weeks ago. Prior to that, I was using the free version.

The pro key hasn't been removed or changed since it's initial install. I'd estimate the hotkeys have reverted to default settings ± 1 dozen times. ]]> RE: Custom hotkeys always revert to default settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#5 Mon, 19 May 2008 03:42:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#5 DisplayFusion Could it be that the file that DF uses to store the custom hotkeys is read-only? That would cause the issue, and the randomness provided by the rarity a user would restart DF....... ]]> RE: Custom hotkeys always revert to default settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#4 Sun, 18 May 2008 18:53:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#4 DisplayFusion When you revert from Pro to the Free version it will remove all of your custom hotkey settings. When you re-enter your Pro license key you will have to setup your hotkeys again. However, upgrading from 1 version to another should not affect your hotkey settings. Have you removed or changed your license key recently? How many times have your hotkeys been reset?

Thanks,
Jon ]]> RE: Custom hotkeys always revert to default settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#3 Fri, 16 May 2008 19:19:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#3 DisplayFusion I noticed that my custom hotkeys had disappeared after I upgraded recently. Haven't had time to put them back so don't know if they'll keep disappearing like you're experiencing. ]]> RE: Custom hotkeys always revert to default settings https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#2 Fri, 16 May 2008 17:07:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/custom-hotkeys-always-revert-to-default-settings/?ID=f3f68def-2608-4f5f-9309-1be8a2571429#2 DisplayFusion Here's are before & after screenshots of my hotkeys window...

Sometimes my custom hotkeys will work correctly for a week, other times they'll revert to the default settings within a day.

I've tried:
a) disabling the hotkeys I don't need & customizing the few I want

b) disabling all hotkeys, then created 3 custom hotkeys for my needs

c) deleting the registry keys for hotkeys that I've disabled...this doesn't work either, the default hotkeys are re-created in the registry as soon as displayFusion is started again.

No matter how I set them up, they will all eventually revert back to the default settings & disable my custom settings. It's happening so frequently that I've resorted to creating a reg key on my desktop to reset my custom settings...it's easier than manually redoing all the hotkey settings by hand constantly.

SPECS: XP home SP2 fully patched
Intel Core2 CPU 6600 @2.40GHz
3.2GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3850 card

If it's of any use in diagnosing this problem, I've including the contents of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion below.

Any ideas Jon?...this is starting to get maddening.
Thanks
