Fence not working after update new version

from Stardock Forums

I had troubles with Fences after updating to 0.96[b].016 this morning and I have tried a few things but it doesn't seem like the problem is fixed? When I right click-drag, there's no selection rectangle on my desktop until releasing the mouse button--normally you can draw freehand too! Then when trying to double-click onto an empty space of my desktop that has fences created from before, nothing happens either. It seems as if Fences isn't running though because normally all these options are available in contextual menus for shortcuts (Exclude form quick hide...) or through opening up the control panel via shortcut at least...

I'm sorry to hear that I've been unsuccessful in resolving your issue. What you should do is uninstall and reinstall the application, as well as reboot your computer a few times before contacting me back with an update on how things are going for you since then.

I understand it can be frustrating when we're unable to fix something ourselves; however, please keep trying until there's no other option left available so that at least one of us has tried their best!

Thanks in advance.
