i can't use it. the configuration tool crashes as soon as it opens. i've rebooted and tried again but have the same undesired result. on a side note, i really like the ui you are incorporating into wb and deskscapes.

What OS are you on?

If Windows 7, can you try downloading the latest DX9 end user runtimes and see if that helps.

win 7 ultimate 64, neil. it's legit from technet. i installed the dx9 stuff you suggested and rebooted. same result. sorry.

Can we install it as an update over the previous version or requires a fresh install?

Also, its not showing up as an update in Impulse ?

Is there a file called dreamcontrol32.dll in your deskscapes folder (off program files)

Also does it crash instantly, or only when you try to preview a dream?

If the later, can you open the About Deskscapes dialog and paste the output here please.

neil, same thing on 32 bit vista, it crashes on launch

You can update over 2.5.

It should show up as 2.9 beta in Impulse.

Very nice update .

After telling me the PC needs a reboot for Deskcapes installation to be finished, I just can't reboot my PC anymore even in safe mode with an error "can't load d3dx9_40.dll" when programs trying to launch

What am i supposed to do at least to be able to uninstall Descapes to get read of that silly error ?

N.B: running french XP SP3

I'm in the same boat, after umpteen attempts to get my puter to boot, no go, I had to system restore from safe mode......on the other hand, I understand there is always problems with new software, so I will try and be patience, try I said Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha,,,,the new interface looks damn awesome though doesn't it....Whooooooeeeeeee...if only I could get the thing to work Ha Ha Ha Ha

If you have the d3dx9_40.dll error you can install this : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en which will ensure you have the latest DirectX version.

We are also updating the build on OD to resolve this issue and making it link to older versions which the rest of Deskscapes uses.

Thuglifejunior look at what Neil posted here in reply #7 and see if that doesn't help.

it just says, "app doesn´t work, it will close now"

i had installed also directx from link above....didn´t helped

EDIT: All of my dreams are verified to work with the latest version without a problem.

Neil, I really love the effects options...great job.
