DeskScapes 2.0 beta arrives!

Got Windows Vista? Got Object Desktop? Then animate your wallpaper

from WinCustomize Forums

DeskScapes provides animated wallpaper for all users of Windows Vista.

Animated wallpaper isn't just for Windows Vista Ultimate users anymore.  With the release of beta 1 of DeskScapes 2.0 on Object Desktop, all users of Vista can use the hundreds of available .DREAM files here on WinCustomize as their animated backgrounds.

Object Desktop users also get some exclusive animated wallpaper content including four dynamic dreams (Water Dream, Earth Dream, Water Color, and Box Sample). 

If you don't have Object Desktop, you can get it here.

I'm having a bit of a problem getting the included dreams to activate. I keep getting a "No registration found" message. I even restarted the computer. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Am I not entering the right product key or what?

Sorry, this may seem like a silly question, but...
Do I need to have DesktopX installed on my system to use this?

The only version I can see in SDC is 1.90[b].023, which is the one I have installed. I tried changing the server and refreshing the XML on both servers(US-1 and US-2), yet I do not get the new v2.0 beta listed.

I have the same thing, I was able to install 1.90[b].023 but yet no 2.0?

Any Ideas?

Any Ideas?

1.90[b].023 IS the beta of 2.0.  It will not show as 2.0 until it is out of beta.

That's how Stardock usually does it's version numbering. Any .9x is actually a beta of the next version. So version 1.95 is a beta of version 2.

Getting loads of driver crashes in Vista Enterprise.

nVidia Driver 7.15.11.134 for a 8600M GT (it's a MacBook Pro).

Apple haven't updated the driver since Leopard's launch so can't do much there.

Usually happens after maximising an application or after UAC has taken over the screen.

No, this has nothing to do with DesktopX.  :)

I have just installed this and I think its great !
Although sometimes my screen freezes and I get a "Display drivr stopped responding and has recovered" error and sometimes my notebook just goes black and freezes altogether.

Any ideas why this is happening !?

YAY! I'm *so* glad I didn't waste the money on upgrading to Vista Ultimate!

Posting your system specs might help.  Video card, OS version, etc

Only bad thing: I can't seem to right-click on the desktop any more. That needs fixin'.

Also: I'm getting an error on some dreams that "The dream may contain an invalid video type or a compatible MPEG-2 Video Decoder may not be present." I'm also running Vista Business, but I've got Quicktime & iTunes installed, so shouldn't I be able to play MPEG-2 files?

Where I do download this codec?

I'm trying to use the Sharkpit dream.

I am a Vista Business user had some luck with CCCP but am having trouble with most of the Stardock created non-dynamic dreams. (Not just theirs though, and not all of theirs either [temperamental works, sharkpit doesn't])

The encoding method is starting to mean a lot more to me in the dream description.  :)


Reply #49 from WinCustomize Forums Top
The right-click thing was fixed by a restart of the computer.

Vista Business Users: Looks like we'll need a much better "You don't have MPEG on your machine" message than whatever it has now.  .Dream files support MPEG and WMV.  Windows Vista ULtimate and Home Premium support .MPEG and .WMV but Business and Enteprrise only support .WMV.
