Reply to Fences Flicker when an Application Launches in Fences Stardock Forums

[quote who="rassilon" reply="7" id="3172962"]I have the same problem. I'm running Fences and Deskscapes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Graphics card is an nVidia 560 Ti with the latest non-beta drivers. I'm hoping there's a real fix soon. I have repeatedly contacted [email protected].

[quote who="vStyler" reply="25" id="3169329"]Starting to look like it may have been CMOS battery...[/quote] If it was just the battery, the worst that would have happened was your BIOS settings would keep resetting to the defaults, unless it was so bad it was leaking. It wouldn't cause your computer to restart like it was. More likely it was dust + psu, and the battery was just complicating matters. Glad it's up and running!

The four most likely issues, in order of severity: 1) Short in the reset button or cable. Easiest to test, just unplug the reset button from the motherboard. 2) PSU. If you have a spare one lying around ('cause everyone does, not just me, right?), swap it out, see if that helps. 3) CPU. Most likely due to overheating. Could be a cooling issue, or the CPU isn't working properly, and is freaking out. Check that the heatsink and fan a

[quote who="Lazionord" reply="6" id="3168423"]I haven't experienced it with skins that came with WindowsBlinds[/quote] Most likely, then, it's an issue with the skin, not WindowBlinds, especially considering the skin was designed for XP only.

The skin you referenced looks like it doesn't have a 7 substyle. Does it happen with any of the skins that came with WindowBlinds?

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="7" id="3166687"]Is it the point of an OS to present problems which have to be overcome, or to be the answer to more efficient and esthetic computing?[/quote] The point of an OS is so that you don't have to interact with hardware directly. It provides a layer between you and the hardware to make using that hardware more useful. The "problems which have to be overcome" that inevitably present themselves seem to be (mostly) in one of two categor

[quote]Stardock, I hope you're on the ball.[/quote] Literally, in some cases. We have a couple people with those ball chair things. Quite comfortable. In all seriousness, though, we are not sitting idly by, and are watching Win 8 developments very closely.
