Fences disappear
Thursday, March 5, 2009 by Slartibartfast_ | Discussion: Fences
Hi all! Yesterday I've downloaded and installed Fences v0.96 Community-Preview Beta.
It works fine then I turned off my PC. today a restart the PC and no fence is visible!
Moving the mouse around I noticed that the cursor icon change accordingly to the
presence of an invisible fence 
Moreover, I'm able to move all the invisible fence...
No way changing colors and other settings.
My OS is Windows XP SP3

Same problems as the OP. My fences (and my 40 some minutes of customization and tweeking) are gone in Vista 32 upon reboot. WindowBlinds seems to not play well. Or maybe it's just any theme other than the most basic of basic. Haven't had too much time to troubleshoot it. Just logged in this morning and realized that my icons were randomly scattered all across my desktop. Reverting to a previous snapshot does nothing. Meh.
Edit: Yeah. Weird. Multipule re/uninstalls. With and without WindowBlinds. Classic and non-standard themes. I can make fences, move them. Resize them. Everything. They just do not display any longer.

Brand new user here (downloaded fences_public.exe on 11/13/2009) and I've never been able to see my Fences. As other people have posted, my icons are organized into Fences and playing with customize I can change the configurations. I can drag icons into different Fences.. I just can't see the outlines/names/anything.
The difference here for me is that I've NEVER seen the Fences. Not even after the initial install. I'm on Windows XP 32bit w/ Service Pack 3 and the standard Theme. The only configuration difference I can think of between me and other posters is that it's a locked down environment (lots of group policies) and one of those lock downs is a standard wallpaper image.
Is there anything I can do/try to make this work?

Kinda late to this, but by any chance are any of you that have or had this problem running Sysmetrix?
I changed my config on sysmetrix and my Fences and all Icons disappeared just like what some of you reported.
I contacted the author of Sysmetrix, but he had no other complaints. so I uninstalled Sysmetrix and my Fences came back. then I re-installed Sysmetrix and so far everybody is cooperating nicely. XPSP3
