Frogger, I will look up the problem.
Of course it would be perfect, if I were given the directions on how to repeat the error step by step since the beginning.
This is a usual practice in software companies.

Werner, I want to find the source of the error not because I'm such a nice person :)
In 80% cases such an error is a signal for a flaw in the product.
This flaw may pop up in the next version of Windows for many users.

Don't worry I will not spend too much time on this.

Guys, please don't argue.
There is no point.

In my opinion each of you are here with good intentions.
I know it.

I think you did not understand each other and that made up this silly argument.
:evil:

Please follow this tutorial
1. Sit back, take a deep breath
2. Run YoWindow
3. Select partially cloudy weather
4. Type in "amelie"
5. Count all the bears
6. Take a deep breath.
7. Write something kind in this topic

Please :)

Dear Frogger, as far as I see there is no Screen Saver tab in FREE edition of Display Fusion.
So I cannot reproduce the error until I buy this software.
:-(

Can you give me your license key for a while.
I promise not to use this software after I finish the work on the error.

Hi Par,

Many thanks for the reply.

I've contacted the author of DisplayFusion (Jon Tackabury - seems a great guy!) and he says that he'd be happy to generate you a key for you so that you can do bug testing etc.

He also explained to me why YoWindow won't work with DisplayFusion.

It'd be great if you could contact Jon at support@binaryfortress.com so that he could sort out your key and let you know what he's found out about this problem.

I hope this helps and thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Steve

Yes I had a great time :)

I have contacted Jon, he was very kind to give us a 60 day evaluation license.
I'm waiting for his answer to my questions about the problem.
The problem is that DisplayFusion displays preview area instead of main screen-saver window.
We did not expect that preview area to be used as a real screen-saver display.

Dear Steve, let me explain the problem.
Display Fusion Pro shows the preview screen of the screen-saver.
This is the only way (according to the developer) to display 2 different screen-savers at the same time on Windows.
This is not a standard solution certified by Microsoft.
Unfortunately this is a complex task for me to make YoWindow run in the preview screen (now we display a small image inside).

I am overloaded with requests and we have major tasks we need to work on (new landscapes, animals).
I want to help you, but I don't have time to solve the problem right now.
The only option for you to run YoWindow screen-saver is to avoid running it through Display Fusion Pro :-(

I have to admit that this issue will not be solved at least until the New Year.
