I am using XP pro. Is there any way to keep applications and icons from flickering when the display on 2nd monitor changes? It's like a quick flash of the window boundaries and the icons disappear and reappear very quickly. Is very quick but very noticeable and annoying, especially when it is set to 10 sec intervals..which is what I need. I am using the latest version of DF pro trial.
DF does what I need it to do, so I [glow=red,2,300]WILL[/glow] purchase it, but unless someone can figure out how to stop the flickering I will have to search for something else. Any suggestions?

Are you using Active Desktop in Windows XP? Do you have anything embedded in your desktop (gadgets, web pages... etc)?

I have changed the operating system to Win 7. It works great! There is no more flickering because of the fade-in/fade-out display transitions in Win7. I now have a new problem. Because I switched to Win7, every time the user leaves and locks the desktop, the 2nd monitor goes black. I really need the background to continue displaying while the user is not at her desk. Is there a setting that you know of that will keep the second monitor from going black? WinXP was able to do this but the icon/windows flickering was the issue. Now the flickering is gone, but I need the display to stay on. BTW, I have all the power settings set to "NEVER" to keep the computer on at all times to prevent any type of sleep mode or power-saving mode.

This is just Windows 7. :) For some reason, Windows 7 only shows wallpaper on the primary monitor while the workstation is locked.
