Displayfusion.exe taking massive resources and...<solved>

Post by Fluffy_the_ic »

So I've been using displayfusion to have separate wallpapers on each monitor, but for the last month or so, on startup, my computer has been running with 100% CPU, and displayfusion.exe taking up 90-99% of it. It's a massive problem, because if my computer starts up and I'm not there about 5 minutes after it's finished booting up, it goes into the screensaver, which lags and freezes, taking up to 45 minutes sometimes to go into sleep mode, and I have to restart my computer if I try to get out of the screensaver. If I don't end the process, I can't do anything whatsoever. I uninstalled it, but lately I've been wanting to change my desktop backgrounds, and so I was wondering if
a: anyone knew any other programs that allow for separate backgrounds
or b: someone had any idea what the heck was going on

Oh? It can? I didn't know that, I have an 8600 GTS. How would I do that?
EDIT: This can be locked now, I found a better one that has more than just that one function anyways. :) In case you want to know, Ultramon.

Incase you were curious, nView Desktop Manager, Desktops tab, Enable multiple desk tops, near the bottom. Then in options, Allow displays to show different desktops.
