Working ok now that ModernMix is re-installed. :-)

I've got games set to a window. Been working for many months. In the past couple of weeks when I select a game (Solitaire in this case) it pops up in a window, then the dots that form a circle to tell me it's setting up, stop. After a few seconds it then goes back to the Full Screen Windows 8. I select Solitaire again, and the same thing happens. Uninstalling Solitaire and re-installing didn't work. Rebooting didn't help. Uninstalled ModernMix and now Solitaire works fine in F

Resizing Notepad makes no difference. I've got only one process that has a *32 and it's in the description field - something called ipod service module.

Re-installed what they call Beta 1 (the 'about' doesn't tell you anything that it's Version 5.0). Same problems. Notepad is ok though! [e digicons]|-)[/e]

Looks like DeskScapes is NOT the problem. If DeskScapes is indeed turned off, then same old problem. Installed Office 2010 and all of them disappear when I select the top bar and try to drag them to another part of the desktop. Most of my windows do the same, but some behave the WindowFX way - Google Chrome for example from which I'm typing this. Oh well, back to the drawing board... :-)

Interesting, thanks. Never heard of that option, and voila it IS on. Turned it off. Disabled DeskScapes Background still changing. Interesting now it's changing every 10 seconds and using two pictures in the Stardock folder, NOT my folders. Ok, going back to Shuffle option... No way to turn off the background stuff. Turned off 'shuffle' but it still changes the pictur

Ok, as I'm typing.... Clicked on DeskScapes 3 Configuration App. Then clicked on Disable Deskcapes ... A new picure showed up on the window, of the configuration app, but a minute later my desktop changed to another background. (I've set it up to randomly change every minute). Thus DeskScapes is definitely still running. If I knew what module is doing this, I'd shut the sucker down. My background keeps changing as I'm typing this, so Deskscapes is definitely doing

My gut feeling is that DESKSCAPES3 running in the background is screwing up Windows FX. Checking around and no where can I find out how to turn off Desckscapes. The button on the bottom left that says to turn it off doesn't work. I really don't want to uninstall it as I would have to rebuild all the settings which I like. Will do if I have to. No where in MSCONFIG do I see where it's launched. And no where in Task Manager do I see a process that's linked to Deskscapes. </

Alright! Loved this from the start. (Was a bit p'od with IBM for dumping OS/2 but I'm ok with Windows now - hmmmm thinking --- maybe I'm ok with Windows because you guys brought the good stuff over in Object Desktop. Never thought of that before - Congratulations! :-) )

Normally I believe High DPI is defined when the display setting is set to LARGER - 150%... Mine is set to SMALLER - 100% (Default). I'm running on an Acer X233H at 1920x1080. As an aside... I'm running RightClick and Cursor FX. As well Deskscapes3 is running too. FYI [e digicons]:|[/e] ...Michael

Off topic question: I wonder how long I've been a subscriber. I've been using it since IBM OS/2 I believe version Object Desktop .92 ... something like that. A great set of products. :-) Now that I think more about it, I think it was version .89. Still not sure. Us retired guys forget stuff. [e digicons]O:)[/e]

Animations don't work on the ones that disappear. Shrinking it, simply shrinks it. Same to making it full screen. A good example is Windows Explorer. Another is something I used called 2Xplorer which does similar things to Windows Explorer. Microsoft Outlook (2007) is another one that disappears when I try and move it. Stays hidden until I release the mouse button (left). I suppose 'transparent' is a better explanation, since it shows up when I release the left button at the

Good pointer. Haven't got it fixed yet, but playing around with the 'movement' tab options. Turned most of them off and getting some results. Thanks, Have to go, tomorrow I'll play some more. Thanks for your help. ...Michael

Rebooting didn't make a difference with the windows blanking out when I move them. As soon as I let go of the left mouse button they come back. I sort of thought they would flop around when I moved them. Oh, some do! My browser Google Chrome for example is pefect. Juggles around as I move it. Others though disappear then come back.

Some of my windows disappear when I try to move them, then come back when I release the left button. Some don't they just jiggle as I move them. Why the disappearing act I wonder? ...Michael

I rebooted and got it back with FX disabled. Then I made the task bar so it wasn't 'auto-hide' and also locked it. Then started FX. Task bar is still there. I've been on Windows from the beginning, and never did I know there was a Taskbar and Start Menu icon in the Control Panel. Many thanks, I learn something new everyday! Oh, and I just turned on auto-hide and removed 'lock' and it's now back and working fine. Lots of

Having lots of fun with the beta. However my task bar (Windows 7) is gone. Been flicking off and on a bunch of the options in the Beta but my task bar won't come back - It's set to be hidden and when I move my cursor to the bottom edge it should show up. Is there a conflict with one of the options? Even after I turn off Windows FX the task bar is gone - gone as I'm typing this. [e digicons]|-)[/e] thanks for a new fun tool. ...M

WindowsFX Beta doesn't recognize my serial number. Amazing it's the same as the one for my Stardock account. What a surprise! Sent a note back to "info" with a picture of the problem and my serial number. Anyone else I should be bugging? ...Michael

Thanks Rosco. I use Virtual Desktops to Group various tasks I'm working on, so that part isn't a motivator. Going to install anyway and play with it. Thanks for the update. ...Michael

I've been a Stardock guy since OS2 days, but I haven't used TILES yet. I have a couple of Object Dock groups on a couple of edges of my desktop. In them I have one that came with Object Dock, the other one being mine. I have tabs setup for each grouping of for programs I use - GAMES, OFFICE, etc. Been working for me for years. Why should I go to TILES? Doesn't it give me the same as Object Dock? Comments? ...Michael

I too have this error using Plus 2.0 and haven't seen any fixes anywhere. This has been going on for me (Windows 7) for months. Finally starting to bug me. :-) I would say about 90% of re-boots I get this pop up error. Sometimes I don't.
