I have a DreamMaker Start Menu shortcut but the .exe is missing.
Missing .dream file association. (Double clicking on .dream in windows explorer does not know what program to use)
Occasional problems with fences after applying scenes.
Occasional Explorer crashes when disabling deskscapes.
Once, Scrolling to the right, scrollbar didn't go all the way right before stoping.  Resizing fixed it, haven't had the problem since.  I was able to have the same problem by resizing the window to its minimum width, this was not the case the first time.

Looking good, Thanks!

I bought Deskscape in March, haven't got it working till now.

I get the same errors with 2.9 Beta as with 2.5. When I load up a dream, the background changes to black and the explorer crashes after a few seconds. (Explorer.exe caused a problem... )

The previews work for all dreams I have except the Box Sample (only the background)

I have an AMD X2 6000+ @ 2x3,0GHz, Asus GTX280 OC (--> uses an additional Asus driver to support Asus tools; doesn't seem to cause the problem, because dreams don't work without this driver, too)

Im running Win XP SP3 and hope that I can use this program in the next time

greetings

Edit: After i try to load a dream and the desktop crashed, i get the popup message "Deskscapes does not appear to have been installed correctly. Would you like Deskcape to try to fix this now?", when I try to restore my old background. I can then decide which user account the program shall use and after that get the message "You must relog or reboot your PC before you can use Deskscapes"

I cannot find this beta in the My Software tab, eventhough I have ticked "Show Pre-release versions" in the settings of Impulse. Running Windows 7 RC 32-bit.

If you go to the "My Software" tab and click on deskscape over on the right side what version does it list? Version 3 shows as beta 2.90

The Deskscapes beta is fine but as a dream maker I have some questions and problems-

Will we get back the option of applying dreams from within the explorer by double clicking a dream or by the integrated deskscapes switch or right click/ Set as desktop background in the final version of new Deskscapes ?

Any of these would be really helpful as I have to again and over go to Personalize/ Set as desktop background or open the Deskscapes to change the dream.

Also, I can no more apply even my mpeg's or wmv's as dreamscene on my desktop by right clicking/ Set as desktop..... which has bothered me a lot recently since as I create dreams, I test my renders before packing them up as .Dream

For applying WMV/MPG files, just point deskscapes to the folder and it will show them in the UI.  Or drag the video file into the UI and it will copy it to the dreams folder and show it in the UI.

You used to be able to do the same thing with wallpapers with the windowblinds UI. That no longer works with the beta.

Still the same trouble on XP SP3 with Deskcapes 2.91 beta 8/28/2009 ==> everything's on desktop  is feezing when rebooting or log off / log in (and essentialy the dream which was launched before ...)

Seemed to be fixed by updating to the latest MSI (nvidia) graphic card drivers, but generates a Windows XP crash (probably when PC goes in hibernation with screensaver ??) and after Windows scanned disk errors before reboot, everything's was again freezing on startup

Confirmed: If DeskCapes and a dream is loaded, it crashes XP (blue screen error) as soon as a sreensaver is trying to load

Yes. It is shown as beta 2.91b. (I should learn to look closer before posting stupid questions )

I am having a strange problem with Deskscapes and Screen Savers.  I am using Vista  64 bit SP1.  When the Screen Saver comes on and runs for about 1 hr, then, when bringing it out of screen saver mode, the Desktop is Black.  I have to go to the Dreams program and choose another dream to run and then put it back to my previous dream to get them working again.  Anyone else seeing this?

Are you using Deskscapes 3 beta?

A BSOD would typically indicate the failing driver and I suspect it will point to your video drivers.

Neophil,do you have the 190.38 drivers installed? You may want to take yrags advice from this thread ,reply#10.LINK and install 186.18 instead. Some people have had problems with 190.38.
