Fences?  Yes.

Blurry as in the entire screen is blurry without any open windows.

I will try the fix.

Ok, I did what Neil said.  Now the 2 secondary screens/dreams stayed perfect, the main monitor is black. No blurriness now.

This is upon loading a windowblind.

Laptop working fine now.  One screen only.

what version of Fences are you using and what version of Windows are you using?

Ok, after a few more WBs loaded, I just loaded one and all 3 monitors went and stayed black.  So, I loaded another WB, and all 3 screens show the dream, only it isn't animated. Just a static version of the dream I was running.   I must be in the Twilight Zone.

Upon loading DeskScapes config, after that, the screens again all went black, just by opening DS config.  Loaded dream again, all is well, until I load a wb.

Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough   

Mine shows on the second monitor, but the main goes black. It's alright I found an alternative program and it let's me keep DisplayFusion. W

DS works great on my laptop. 

Al, check yer PMs.

Are you all using Display fusion?

If you are, goto the settings in it and disable the option to let Display Fusion handle the wallpaper.

It looks like if it is set it automatically changes the desktop wallpaper back to whatever it thinks it should be after a few seconds overriding DeskScapes!  This is liable to happen on a WB theme apply too.

It looks like DisplayFusion has a setting under wallpaper settings to "Autofix wallpaper images when wallpaper feature is enabled".  This is what is making it change the wallpaper all on its own.  With this disabled you get a prompt from DisplayFusion warning you something else has changed the wallpaper and to click it if you wish to change it back.

DeskScapes is designed to be cooperative with other ways of changing wallpaper (it is just a wallpaper after all), so if you change your wallpaper via any other method it will disable itself and let you have that wallpaper.

There may be an issue with a black paint though when DeskScapes is disabled which we are investigating.

I have DisplayFusion. It has been disabled since DeskScapes 10 beta 1, on Stardock's request/suggestion.

Are you 100% sure that setting is disabled (it is hidden away) as enabling it produces the exact symptoms as you are reporting.

After things turn black, what does it say for the WallPaper key at this registry location : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Not certain if the setting is disabled, but DisplayFusion as a whole is supposedly disabled.  I'll just uninstall it, easy enough to install again if I decide to drop DeskScapes.

Ok, uninstalled DisplayFusion, rebooted.  Main screen goes black after applying a windowblind.  Secondaries running a dream.
