I thought it might of been DisplayFusion at one point. Gives me a taskbar for my second monitor. But I uninstalled it and still the same. Just switched to windows 7 and don't seem to have a problem, although I have only 3 fences...

I agree, this is a huge problem. I did not like limiting my fences, but I would rather have that than just have icons... Hopefully it will be looked at by Stardock.
Whatever you guys need. Specs: Pentium D Process 2.8Ghz 3GB Kingston Ram 9800GTX+ Windows XP Professional SP3 I run 3 monitors at the moment, had this issue with 1, 2 and now 3 montors so I doubt that's it. I run Steam and Windows Live Messenger on a permanent basis, and my computer runs near 24/7. I check temps and performance daily due to that, and nothing is wrong. I run Avast! free edition antivirus.
forgive the double post, but this is SOLVED. I had this issue by having ~6 fences, idk why but this seemed to destroy my performance. I moved some stuff from my desktop, and limited it to 3 fences and it is back to normal fast speed. Seems to be a problem with my computer not liking that many fences. Thanks everyone.
sadly, no it does not. I have been threw 3 reinstalls of windows in the time I have used Fences. It was reinstalled and eventually slowed me down like it does now.
Fences started out fast enough, then as I got more icons I suppose it decided to slow down everything. When I close it and just have my ~40 icons on my desktop everything is fast as normal. Exaple of slowness, dragging and dropping is delayed, double clicking or pressing escape to show or hide fences takes 5+ seconds to occur now. I have a pentium D dual core 2.8Ghz processor, 3GB RAM, GeForce 9800GTX+ graphics card... I run at 3% CPU usage max on idle, usually 0% thoug
