Windows 7 x64 with Deskscapes Beta

from WinCustomize Forums

I would like to let Stardock know that the Beta for Windows 7 x64 does not work at all.

The Icons disappear when ever i try to select a dream or make a change with Deskscapes.

 My system:

Core I7, Asus P6T Deluxe V2
Dual Asus Nvidia EN9400GT
Multimonitor setup.

Kind regards

Please post the system info from the About DeskScapes section.  We've tested with success with Win7 64

Do you have a multimonitor setup? Just curious, maybe the problem is because of my 2 videocards.

That may be it.  I have triple (well two on one card and one seperate--9800GX2 and 7900GTX) video cards and Dreams have never worked.  It doesn't like the fact that I have more than one GPU.  I posted about it a long time ago during the Vista days.  Devs said they would "look into it," never saw any results and I don't expect any because the three-monitor, two-videocard setup I have is fairly uncommon...

I get the same in 7 64bit running 4 monitors via 2 GFX cards, 275gtx 8800GT, I recently pulled the 88gt for another build and everything has been working fine.

 

It would be nice to be able to run 2 instances of deskscapes though.
