after a couple days now , i have been getting
internet explorer crashes from time to time
when changing dreams ..... i got Vista Premium
3 gigs ram  :NOTSURE: 

Nice one SD works a treat   

Let me get this straight: Enhanced means normal and Free means crippled.

You got it backward. Free means free and enhanced means enhanced. My car isn't crippled because I didn't get the sunroof option.

dude... but... where do i dowload that beta version???? i've been looking 4 it all day, i cannot find it

It is available to registered users through Stardock Central.

i bought WB 6 only, and i'm a registered user... do i must have bought object desktop?

You can use SDC as a single product user.

i'm sorry, but i don't understand....
using SDC as a single product user, give me the chance to get the beta version?
i can't find the download in SDC...

tnx

I'm sorry, you are correct and I was wrong . . wasn't thinking.

Only ODNT subscribers get teh betas.

Sorry.    

ok... h**l... i wonder how long we will have to wait, b4 that program will be accessible to everyone... i'm going mad!!! i was thinking to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, just 4 the animated desktop... that news went just in time eh eh    

Or . . you could subscribe to ODNT and get tons of great apps..   

U satana!!! ur tempting me!!! how do i do that? how much is it?

I have Vista Business and i have gotten that mpeg 2 message. I loaded Nero 8 ultimate and the player and it got rid of those messages and now i have no problems at all with any of the the .dream downloads. I think you have to have a 3rd party player with the correct codec to play the .dreams.

ok i did it
now how do i set it to work?
istalled sdc and deskscaps
but it keep saying that i need vita ultimate

never mind got it
needed to update it and reboot
works very well
tnx to everybody

I have Object Desktop and I have the option to show or see Betas in StarDock central, I have Vista Business so of course Deskscape 1.X is NOT in my list,because it would never work with Vista Business.

So I do not see Deskscapes listed as an available Beta to install. I have also run the manual updates. Doesn't seem like there are any direct likes on the web to the beta.

Is the beta supposed to show up in Stardock Central? Does it need the 1.X version installed previously for SDC to show it as a beta?


Any help is welcome.

It should show up in sdc for you.

What build of SDC?
Have you switched servers?
Have you refreshed the XML?

I have 2.52.515 build 165, i just switched to US-2 from US-1 and I am refreshing the XML....I'll let you know!

Nope, nothing worked. I never see Dream listed in my SDC list.

I have Vista Ultimate but will still have to pay for the newer version of DeskScapes or buy Object Desktop, which I most certainly do not intend doing, certainly not after the way Stardock screwed up my Wincustomize subscription! They gave me Desktop/Dynamic Earth (apparently by mistake, with my Wincustomize subscription, plus two totally different serial codes to activate it) and then after a fresh re-install of my system a few months later, I tried to get Desktop/Dynamic Earth back and they told me I can't have it as it doesn't come with a Wincustomize subscription and that they had made a mistake (which I knew anyway)! Well whoop-de-doo! They could have at least let me keep the damned thing seeing as it was their mistake in the first place? But it was Stardock's mistake I'm afraid, not mine! I don't think I will bother with v2.0 as the first version works OK for me. And being Stardock, there are bound to be so many problems and cock-ups with it, that it's just not worth my while buying it?

Zubaz shrugs and moves along.   :NOTSURE: 

WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP A SEC.
AM CONFUSED. AND AM WRITIN THIS SORT MESSAGE SO YOU CAN SEE IT AND HOPFULLY REPLY BACK TO ME. PLEASE DO. BUT I WANNA KNOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT A MINUTE. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT EVEN THOW PURCHESING VISTA ULTIMATE IS OVER £100 AS IT IS, YOU STILL WANT PPL TO PAY FOR OBJECT DESKTOP TO EVEN TRY IT? I MEAN IF I GOTTA PAY SO MUCH FOR VISTA ULTIMATE WHEN I ALREADY GOT VISTA PRIMIUM DONT YOU THINK ITS KINDA SAD OF ME TO GO OUT ON HAVE TO PURCHES A RETAIL VERSION OF VISTA ULTIMATE WITCH IS COST LOADS (SO KINDA POINTLESS REALLY) AND YOU ARE STILL EVEN EXPECTING US TO FORK OUT MONEY JUST TO EVEN TRY THE DAMN THING? CALL ME SAD BUT I THINK THAT IS SAD THAT YOU WANT US TO PAY FOR A TRIAL THAT WILL LAST HOW LONG A WEEK POSSIBLY A MONTH IF THT???
NAH I THINK YOU SHOULD ALLOW PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW TO IT ALL LIKE ME AND AT LEAST ALLOW A FLIPPIN TRIAL. I MEAN EVEN DOWNLOADED OBJECT DESKTOP THINKIN THAT HOPFULLY THE BETA TEST OF DESKSCAPE WILL COME WITH N IT DIDNT.

SO ONCE AGAIN PLEASE, PLEASE ALLOW US TO AT LEAST BE ABLE TO TRY THE PROGRAME I MEAN I DONT THINK ITS FAIR IF WE GOTTA PAY MONEY TO TRY IT WHEN WE MIGHT NOT EVEN LIKE IT, I MEAN WE FORK OUT MONEY JUST SO WE CAN USE THE PC'S PLEASE CAN WE JUST HAVE AN ACTUWEL FREE TRIAL PLEASE.

I'm confused. What does purchasing Windows Vista Ultimate have to do with getting DeskScapes for free?

When DeskScapes 2.0 is done, you'll be able to download it and try it for yourself.  But how much you paid Microsoft for Vista Ultimate has nothing to do with software you should or shouldn't get from Stardock.
