Fences Portals

Aero Problem

December 21, 2012 7:27:31 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Fences seems to load ok a little slow, but the problem is in portals. Everytime I reboot I have to re-enable aero to get them to finish loading and startup. After this all works well until next reboot, then repeat. I am running WB 7 and have tried several blinds but none seem to change anything. Acts like something in WB7 is not enabling aero or is turning it off.

I assumed that most if not all Blinds are aero themes. I have even reset to Windows Aero Default and same problem. Any ideas on this quirk?? By the way this is on Fences 2.0.

 

Running:

Win7 x64

AMD Quad Core 9600

8gig ram

Ati GT  7650

2-24" Monitors

1 gig harddrive

Nearly two years later, and I'm experiencing exactly the same problem Saytar reported on a fresh install of Fences 2 trial version.  This does not bode well.  Stardock, are you paying any attention to this?  Why has this not been resolved after two years?

Running:

Win 7 Pro x64

Intel i7 920

6 GB RAM

nVidia GeForce GTX 780 

Two 24" monitors

I didn't use Fences when I was running WB 7 but WB 8.2 is the current version.  Have you tried updating?

It seems unlikely that fences requires Aero to run since that's not supported in Windows 8.

@gevansmd,

 

Clarification - I'm not running WindowBlinds, only Fences 2.  I misinterpreted OP's "WB 7" reference as Windows 7 Basic.

Any idea why having a portal fence breaks Windows Aero?

Oh I see.  And I messed up the version numbers anyway.  It's Deskscapes that's at 8.2.  Windowblinds is at 8.06.

Since no one else is responding and I'm at a loss myself, I suggest you open up a support ticket. 

Also you might try one of MS's FixIt programs.  There might be one that handles aero.  In fact here it is:  http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/aero_effects_not_working

Good luck!

a_username: I would run the Aero troubleshooter in Windows 7, see if that can give you any details about Aero.

Thanks for the tips!  I'll see if Microsoft's tools are any help before opening a ticket.
