Hi, I'm new to DisplayFusion and this may have been asked a million times but I've not been able to find a solution in browsing these forums. I've just downloaded and installed DisplayFusion version 3.1.5 and the wallpaper only works when I lock my workstation. I also am unable to uncheck and save 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' and Active Desktop is disabled on my workstation.

Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Thank you.

@pksublime: It sounds like you have Active Desktop enabled. You can try disabling this removing any web content using the Windows display properties.

Thought I'd bump this to see if anyone had a solution.

@silverwuf: Can you try what I suggested to "pksublime"? I'm interested to see if you have any Active Desktop settings enabled. Also, can you post the text from the Troubleshooting tab in the DisplayFusion Settings window, I'd like to see how your system is setup. Thanks!

Are you using an application called BGInfo, by any chance?

Yeah, I was under the impression that only messed with the wallpapers when loading (ie start up). So if getting displayfusion to change the wallpapers while being logged on, it shouldn't be involved?

Can you try running without BGInfo for a couple of days and see that is what is causing the problem? Thanks!

I have verified that there is no web content in the Web tab of the Desktop Items dialogue box. At the moment, I am away from my other monitor for Christmas vacation but following is the contents of the Troubleshooting section of the DisplayFusion Settings:

I think my situation is very similar to this.

My DisplayFusion settings ONLY work when I have the "Show Desktop Icons" enabled. If I turn off desktop icons, I get different wallpaper settings.

XP SP3 - perfectly clean install - No Active Desktop, No BGInfo...

This is my troubleshooting info:

My desktop crashed unexpectedly and I had to do some registry hacks to get it back. Seems my company uses registry entries to keep us from changing our own desktop appearance or screen saver. After I re-enabled those items, I uninstalled DisplayFusion, re-installed it and it is working fine now.

That is excellent news. I have heard of domain policies interfering with wallpaper settings, but right now I'm not sure how to detect the conflict. I'm very happy to hear you got it working though. :)

it seems showing / hiding desktop icons change if the wallpaper is blank or not (display properties and locked desktop always shows background).
changing the adjust background for use with active desktop seems to sometimes make it appear.

In an effort to cleanup the DisplayFusion forum, this topic is being locked and archived because it applies to an older version of DisplayFusion. If you are using the latest version of DisplayFusion and would still like some assistance, please create a new topic and I'll be happy to help you out. There are also beta versions available for testing the latest features and bug fixes:
