I've had Fences (free) v1.01.143 installed for many months with no issues. It recently started having many display issues.
- The icons display, but the fences around them are often not visible.
- When I grab the invisible title bar of a fence over non-fenced icons, the redraw is painfully slow. Each "frame" of the icons moving takes about two seconds during which the icons all turn white.
- When I hide the icons, I can still see silhouettes (in white) of all of the icons briefly when I click on the desktop.
- Overall, fences functions as it always had, but it is just extremely slow with these artifacts.
I've recently installed LabVIEW, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, and Windows Updates. I did have virtual desktop software installed briefly, but uninstalled. However, I've made so many changes recently, it's difficult to know exactly which initiated this behavior.
To correct the problem, I have tried the following:
- Uninstalled any program that I would thing might affect the display.
- Uninstalled my display driver (which was already the latest version), rebooted, and reinstalled.
- Uninstalled fences, rebooted, and reinstalled.
- Disabled as many of the startup programs as I could.
Nothing seemed to work.
Does fences have any known conflicts with any other programs that would cause behavior like this?
