Updated to 3.1.0.5, seems to have killed Fences

Just make sure to re-download the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purged. Reinstall, and Reboot again after the installation. Retest it. Report back here.

Same Problem here.

Same here...

I've downgraded to 3.0.9.11 - Now it's working again - all Fences and Icons are back in the correct place.

same problem here. How can I get older version?

Hey there,

Had the same problem, updated Fences to 3.1.0.5. Yesterday everything looked fine after installation, turned PC off, turned it on again today, everything was gone.
I navigated in the Explorer to "Desktop" and everything was there, looked for the pages setting in Fences -deactivated-. Left-mouse-button didn't work with Fences.

After purging and reinstall Fences, every Icon appeared on Desktop, loaded last backup and everything is fine and works again.
Just to mention: While purging Fences the whole Desktop became black. No Background, no Taskbar, no Startmenu, no actions outside of purging where possible. But don't panic, just restarted with the button the purge-tool offered and everything was normal.

For a tiny little bit more comfort, maybe you could include the choice to restore from found backups after fresh installation instead of offering "create your first Fences"-Tutorial.

Best Regards

Same problem here. Reverting to 3.09 restored functionality.

Purge and reinstall did not fix the problem

Thanks for the reply but, given the current chaos, I'm going to wait until you guys get the problems sorted out.  I also see that the "My Downloads" link points to 3.0.9 now, so I gather you've rolled back the 3.1.x versions.

I hope you'll send out an e-mail notification when it's all fixed.  The "Fences 3.10 Issue Report Thread" is impossible to follow, as there are several different problems being discussed and I can't match the replies to the problems.

Same Problem, no icons on desktop after the latest update 

After new FENCES update, FENCES now will not work at all!

Same here, same Win version

Thanks, going to rollback.

I don't understand why everything from this developer is so difficult to use. Even signing up for this forum was a nightmare, had 2 Error 500 pages just trying to validate my email address so I could post for help. 

IM DONE WITH FENCES. 

This is the second time I've had to waste a morning sorting out crap from this useless program. I'm just organising my files into desktop folders with the names of the fences I used to have, and I'll click through to see what I need. Bloody useless waste of time piece of crap software. 

To the rest of you fools like I used to be, enjoy your crappy buggy software.

I uninstalled the program using windows then reinstalled Fences3. All is back to normal.
