Here's a weird one. At some point yesterday, I royally messed up my wallpapers. If I look in DF, it shows the correct wallpapers selected, but the settings aren't sticking. I just have a boring blue background. If I make a change and apply, the screens flicker like it is going to work, but then nothing. Here's the really weird part: if I ctrl-alt-del to lock my workstation, the wallpapers show up. When I unlock, they go away again - back to blue. It seems I can only change the login wallpaper with either the normal windows way or using DF, and not the regular desktop. Does anyone have a clue what I can do to fix it? I'll be researching it, but I thought I would try here as well...

Edit: I think it happened when I was updating some radiology-related software on my PC. It killed my explorer process and hung. Being the "crafty" IT guy that I am, I launched task manager and ran explorer.exe to get back to the desktop, and then I rebooted. After that, my wallpaper has been hosed. It may be active desktop related somehow, because if I toggle active desktop on, I get some of my wallpaper back. Ultimately, what I experimented with, and have done to get it to work right now, is to not run active desktop, but to still check the "lock desktop items" box. See attached screen scrape. Any ideas now?

FYI: I can confirm this issue (XP Pro, themes disabled). I've installed DF and lost my background image. Also I do not have any radiology-related software. Until now nothing hang up. I'm patient. Sooner or later something possibly crashs.

It's very strange. Every second time I use Win+Shift+R (switch background image) I get a blue background. Also the image was changed (I see it when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). Tested with Beta 2.

Hi Jon,

I thought it could be interesting for you to see a debug log:

(First switch worked, second not, third worked again. So DisplayFusionWallpaper_2.bmp is working fine. DisplayFusionWallpaper_1.bmp exists and seems to be intact.)

But it seems to be quite uninteresting. Maybe it helps you nevertheless.

Carsten

Every other time, it's always DisplayFusionWallpaper_1.bmp which does not appear.

Carsten

Hi Jon,

now Tell us: what was the problem? Everything's working fine with Beta 2 now.

Have fun,
Carsten

Exactly, Beta 3, not 2. Lucky to make you happy!

Carsten
