I'm having a hard type figuring out keywords to search this. When I have two separate images for the two seperate screens, the image from the primary screen stretches over the the second screen and pushes part of image two off.

I would love image one to stay on screen one.

Am I missing something?

Using latest version, on WinXP sp3.

Thanks

Are you using Active Desktop, or do you have "Show Desktop Icons" UN-checked? If so, make sure you use the "Adjust backgrounds for use with Active Desktop" in the DisplayFusion Wallpaper window.

I do have show desktop icons unchecked and have adjust background for active checked.

If I turn on the icons it does fix itself.

I do not have any active desktop options checked.

Am i misunderstanding something?

Working from home today- connected a second monitor straight in to laptop vs dock at work and thing work great even with icons hidden.

Going to look into updating dock drivers?

Thanks

Back at work today on dock- image still stretches over to over monitor- except when computer is locked.

Pro trial running out but don't want to buy if not going to work.

Sounds like a great product for almost everyone- i must have a weird setup.

Added an active desktop entry into regedit and then turned off- looks great!

Can you provide more specific information on how you fixed this issue? I have a few other people with the same issue right now. Thanks! :)

In the Registry Editor, locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Create a new DWORD Value with the name ClassicShell, and assign a value of 1 to it.

hope thiks helps!
