When I cold boot my pc the desktop backgrounds only load briefly then disappear.  I have to go into Multiple Monitors and re-apply them.

Doesn't happen on a restart only a cold boot.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Ken

Hello Ken

What OS are you running (version, 32 or 64-bit)?

What version of Multiple Monitors are you running?

What is your background settings?

What is the background looks like after the AMM background failed to load?

Are the settings in the configuration window preserved when you open it after the AMM background failed to load?

Best regards

Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

Version 5.0.4

What is your background settings?

1. Individual picture on each monitor (2 monitors)
2. Background mode - Static
3. Wallpaper position - proportional stretch

Backgrounds load briefly on start-up and disappear, I suspect when Actual Monitor loads and there's just a blank background.

Yes, the settings are preserved.  The apply button is not active so I Select Picture over entire desktop so that I can re-select Individual picture on each monitor so that I can get an "Apply" action to restore my 2 backgrounds.

Hello Ken

I was unable to reproduce the issue.

Send us your configuration files using the Send to Tech Support tool.

Also could you check the Windows background settings after the problem have occurred? Is it set to Solid Colors?

Best regards.

Hi guys!

I have the same issue as above. The background service does not work anymore!

here is the config file (I would ofc make it more readable if you guys had. This is how it look when you open it in notepad++ or any other editor i guess.)
