Deskscapes Stops Working

Deskscapes stops for no reason after a couple of minutes.  It reverts back to "Disable Deskscapes".  Can anybody help?  Thanks.

Please post the information in the "About Deskcapes" tab from the config window, as well as the system info from the "About Windowblinds" tab in the wb config window.

In the Deskscapes "Settings" submenu, do you have the pause option (2 in screenshot) unticked?

I have reported the spam in reply 1.

Typically that would mean something has changed the wallpaper or DeskScapes believes something has changed it.  What other applications are you running?

Build 309 of WB will trigger this in error on a skin apply, but build 310 resolves this after the first apply.

Could you have 'relocated' the dreams or any part of its library to another location?

Hello, I have been running Deskscapes 3 now for a few days and I am having the same issue when I restart my PC. Deskscapes reverts to Existing Wallpaper Mode. I am using "Photo Dream" by Stardock as my wallpaper. Is there a workaround this issue?

I saw a similar problem with the first WB 7.3 build but the latest version in the Stardock store appears to have solved the problem.

Well I have this builds. I am now having Deskscapes reverting back to default wallpaper mode again and i have not rebooted or apply any skin. This is really frustrating me. I want to use Deskscapes but is acting like crap on me.
