After updating Fences Pro to v 1.00.4263 is see that the file debuglog.txt in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Stardock\Fences\TroubleshootingLog is constantly growing in size.

Within a few hours it get's to about 20MB in size filled with data like:

My roaming profile has a quota of 150MB and this file keeps preventing me from logging off.
Turning off Fences and manually removing de debuglog fixes it, but starting Fences again causes the debuglog to grow again...

What could be causing this?

Cheers,

Me too. Same build, same problem. Debug file is filling up about 50Kb per second.
Luckily it seems to reach a maximum size and starts again. But my hard disk light is on solidly and the PC performance is slowed a lot.

I was running fine on the previous build. I upgraded on Monday to the latest and was okay until I rebooted the PC yesterday evening.

I used SysInternals Filemon to discover why I had such high disk activity. Fences is constantly writing to the log file. Is this a debug build that has somehow got out into the wild by mistake? I looked in the registry for a key that might disable debugging but can't find anything.

I've reported to Stardock already. Hopefully a fix coming soon before my hard disk breaks down!

I'm having the same issue. I had to uninstall Fences to stop it.

Yikes - I believe we have this fixed up. Please give the latest version available on Impulse a try... there was a glitch on XP systems only with update detection that was causing the icons to resync continuously
