Update: I ran the Fences removal tool and completely removed Fences. I rebooted and installed Fences 5. My computer shows both Fences 4 and 5 as installed. If I attempt to uninstall Fences 4, it tells me its going to uninstall Fences 5. Quite frustrating.
Yes. That is exactly the order I used. Sorry for leaving out the detail about reboot before reinstalling.
I ran the program, reinstalled Fences 5, restored my snapshot and all looks well except that in "Add Or Remove Programs" Fences 4 still shows as if installed. However, when I try to remove it, it says the uninstall file is missing. So, it appears Fences 4 is uninstalled, but has left behind something in Windows that leads Windows to think it is still there.
Installed Fences 5 without uninstalling Fences 4 (so I wouldn't lose my settings.). Now both are installed. When I go to Programs, I see both. If I try to uninstall Fences 4, it threatens to uninstall Fences 5. What gives?
Please find a way to reduce the CPU cycles Fences consumes. I love Fences, but it slows down boot up SIGNIFICANTLY. Fences is by far the highest load on the CPU for boot up.
