So I pay for Fences 2 and it's still broken...

November 3, 2012 11:42:39 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Fences 2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, right click on Recycle Bin to Empty Trash and the icon gets removed from the fence and stuck onto my desktop. Really? This has been broken for how long? Seriously, fix this.

Same system....same OS....same Fences 2 ....no issues with Emptying Trash.

None what-so-ever.

Perchance the issue is endemic with your own system/install, and not with Fences directly...

1. Do you have any special edition of W7 Ultimate x64, such as Alienware's?

2. Have you altered the Recycle Bin's properties (such as view/hide) in any way, or set up special rules for it? Are you using a User Account or an Administrator Account?

Happened on another system as well running W7 Home Premium x64 on Fences 1.01.143, so it's a different system, OS and Fences release.

I'm not using a vendor version of W7. It's a stock M$ release.

I have not altered Recycle Bin's properties.

This is a user account with Administrator privilege.

I have not contacted support. I've seen this mentioned on other online forums for a long time. It's been a problem for so long that the reason I decided to fork out the money for Fences 2 was the assumption that it would be fixed, given that it's such an old problem.

BTW, the 10 bucks for the software is not an issue. I like Fences enough that I've been using it for years. Financial compensation for software that I use so much is only fair. It's just this RB problem is a pain in the backside.

richp2 ...you NEED [should] contact Support as this issue may be something you have 'had for years' but it's not endemic with Fences users.

I've got this problem too. I have contacted support, but the support people have not as yet managed to fix it. And it has been quite a while.

 

I've got Windows 8 64 bit, with a single monitor.

It won't be the 'same problem', this thread is in reference to Windows 7, not 8 ...

I'll give the guys credit, I don't know what happened but I was having massive problems with Fences 2 in Win 7 on my machine but I took advantage of the cheap upgrade to Win 8 and on a whim installed Fences again and it works perfectly now.  No clue what changed, but there's hope that it will work on your computer eventually.

Chances are the install in Win 7 was corrupted in some way...and went as it is supposed to when you redid it in 8 ...
