I didn't run the purge but 10 minutes after another reboot DS asked for my activation code.  Once I entered that everything started working again.  I ran CClearner last night, I wonder if it somehow messed up the activation.

That probably was the problem .

Well your up and running now so that's good  

This morning the controls are lost again.  No way to applay a change or get into the other options.

I just uninstalled, ran the purge and reinstalled.  No controls appear!

You don't uninstall then run the Purge .

Just Purge and reinstall newest version from your account .

Can you show us a screenshot .

and what versions are you running ?

Windows version ( use winver.exe ) for that info

and Deskscapes version ?

I'm still waiting for an answer from another thread. Still can't run DeskScapes. Codec stopped working overnight.

mp4's work though.

Did you do Reply #1 ?

Windows ( use winver.exe ) and Deskscapes versions ?

Sorry, I typed too quickly earlier.  I only did the Purge and then reinstall.  Many of the purge functions returned an ERROR condition by the way.  I have the free Photobucket account and can no longer link to uploads.  Just picture the usual screen with the preview animation on the left but completely empty space to the right of the preview.

Windows version:   1903 build 18362.476

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

It seems there is a third party causing an issue here .

Would you Please try a Clean Boot: https://forums.stardock.com/485954/deskscapes-support-faq#cleanboot

On a hunch, I unloaded Window Blinds and the controls immediately reappeared on an already open Dream Task configuration window.  I reloaded WB, the controls remained, but when I closed DT and reopened it the controls were gone.

I discovered another trick.  If I roll up the Dream Task window and then unroll it the controls appear.
