I'm experiencing the same issue here. I don't think the problem described in this thread has been solved (workaround =/= solutions), I'm choosing to bump the thread rather than make a new one that's basically identical.
[quote who="AzDude" reply="32" id="3753280"] Can you just tell us right now exactly what is your issue with your new computer ? [/quote] As of June 24th, there were no issues. [quote who="Lerem" reply="31" id="3753279"] I am able to assign different wallpapers to each monitor on my current (new) computer with no real issue now.

Hi again. It's been a relatively hectic month. Sorry for the delay on my end. I've gotten a new computer with all new parts and Windows 10, and I've also swapped my old 720p monitor for a 1080p Lenovo ThinkVision LT2223z monitor. The old computer is now stuck with only that old 720p monitor. I am able to assign different wallp

I wanted to get it running in Windows 10, too. Thanks for the thread. It appears to run fine so far.
I'm glad I posted this stuff the other day. I got an error message from Groupy saying that I didn't have Desktop Windows Manager running (after restarting from a BSOD after running the "shutdown" command last night), and my attempts at doing this by manually applying a theme and poking around the windows theme settings screwed up how my computer is displaying stuff. At least I have a decent reference to rebuild to. Side note: When do you consider a computer worth replaci
Window Blinds style is Modern by danioc & Stardock Icons are Plastic Fantastic by Tiggz DeskScapes is giving me trouble, so I uninstalled it.
Thanks for the re-entry into the support system. Here's hoping I just got lost in the shuffle last time. I'll make sure to visit this forum again soon enough. I have email alerts on, and it's bookmarked in a "follow-up" folder.
Did you get everything sorted out, Jaguar1973?
...Hello? The problem hasn't been fixed yet. I just uninstalled the program since having it installed was screwing up my computer, and the attempts to fix it weren't working, and weren't coming. I've been waiting since April 17th for the support team to come by. Unless that post from the 24th was from the support team, but they were responding to something they misunderstood. (No offense.) For the time being, I've got a wallpaper that's just some vertical lines. It at least do
The prompt about Aero only happened when I was booting in safe mode for diagnostic purposes. The service was probably disabled because of that. I do not recall the message having appeared outside of that mode. I have since uninstalled Deskscapes and am booting my computer up normally.
On a whim, I tried doing the safeboot. Logged into main account Got the same problems as usual. On starting up the Deskscapes program with the context menu, I was asked to turn on the Aero theme in order to start the Windows Desktop Manager to get DS to be able to do it's thing. I clicked Okay The problem persists. I also noticed earlier that the new user account runs noticeably faster than my main account.
Steps taken: Reinstalled Deskscapes Created new Admin account Restarted Loaded in to new account Deskscapes only loads background on both monitors. "Apply to monitor 2" appears to do nothing. Backround on second monitor appears misaligned and not sized correctly because the second monitor is smaller. Logged off of New account Logged back on to new account Deskscapes appears to work just fine. The wallpaper I
Oh, wow. I really CAN access these same forums from Stardock instead of only at WinCustomize. The forums themselves seem a bit more polished, so maybe I'll just use the Stardock forum access point instead. Anyway, a little progress update on what I've been doing in the meantime: I haven't done that cleanboot step yet, but I'll get to that before I do anything drastic. I went around with CCleaner to poke around with any scanned registry values, making sure to n
Got it. How will they be contacting me? I haven't received any emails or private messages on my forum accounts.
On installing DS, the background tiling issue cropped up again. Restarting now. The background tiling problem is here. I'm letting the programs load. Background is black except for the areas covered by the Fences. When the icons on the main monitor turned from normal icons to blank pages, presumably so that the computer can refresh the icons for some reason, the image that was tiled onto the secondary monitor and also the background of the first monitor, also reflec
After running the purge script for the second time and restarting, I can confirm that the context menu on the desktop does NOT have the DeskScapes entry on it. I forgot to check after the first purge's restart, so I can't comment on that one. I'm installing DS right now. One more restart, then I start testing it out again.
I ran the purge script, but I'm still seeing the "configure DeskScapes" entry in the context menu on the desktop. Loading up the object desktop manager tells me that DeskScapes is not installed. I'm currently proceeding with uninstalling the DeskScapes beta, restarting, purging, restarting, purging, restarting, installing, restarting, and then configuring/testing. Good gravy, that sequence of events seems ridiculous.

I ran the System File Checker tools Damaged files were found, and were successfully repaired. I rebooted The problem was not fixed I ran the System File Checker tool again. No integrity violations were found End result: the problems are still the same. I don't think I can detect any actual changes that have happened as a result of the System File Checker tool, though I'm sure it helped with
Basj, I have used the purge, restarted, installed Deskscapes 10, restarted, tested and did setup, restarted, and tested again. Things are still not working right. While the problem of the view on the main monitor being irregularly tiled onto the second monitor is gone, I still can't get wallpapers set up on the monitors. I can manually apply two wallpapers to the monitors, but this makes the icons and fences disappear. When I mouse over the invisible icons, they
I still maintain that the log in / log out button doesn't work on the Wincustomize forums. I get a 404 error when I tried to log out to test the log in button myself. I installed DeskScapes 10 and made sure to uninstall version 8. This took several restarts, uninstallations, and re-installations. The DeskScapes window and program acts like it's working, but the situation with the wallpapers has actually gotten worse. I don't even really know how to describe what's goi
I'm using the Wincustomize forum. I'll try installing DescScapes 10 and I'll report the results.
Hi. Put simply, Deskscapes isn't applying the wallpaper on my second monitor when my computer is starting up. SOMETIMES, when I start up my computer, the second monitor's wallpaper does show up. NORMALLY I have to wait for the computer to finish starting up, then right click on the desktop to select "configure deskscapes". A few seconds after that window is brought up, the second wallpaper is applied. RARELY the second wallpaper doesn't show up on it's own,
I was playing Dread Lords in a Small Galaxy just 2 days ago when the dread lords showed up right in my backyard. It was an intoductory game, so I was still trying to get the hang of things. From what I can gather, they brought their own planet (and possibly star) with them when they came. They were only half a sector away from my only 2 planets, so I know that the planet was new. I ended up invading them with 3.000,000 soldiers compared to their 20,000 defenders. I did an orbital bonb
