TokyoKiller Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Gawd, those Dreamscenes look really crappy...the quality is really bad compared to others. Using DeskScapes I am using this one http://lotherius.wincustomize.com/skins.as...17&libid=50 and it has been the best one so far for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite one I think is this one http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?ski...04&libid=50 The Microsoft ones I think are pretty good. The new Plasma one that they released was done by Stardock Design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I really like the plasma one and the stream. :woot: Now where can I find the blue version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsabin1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I really like the plasma one and the stream. :woot:Now where can I find the blue version... Exactly. The plasma one is cool but not the stark raving bright yellow version. Man that hurts the eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 After installing this I'm noticing rundll32.exe errors every time I open the DreamScene content in Personalization, I think it has something to do with the thumbnails that aren't being displayed for these .mpegs it also happens when I browse to the folder. Any know about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistas2006 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 D/L Here :http://windowsultimate.com/blogs/announcem...-available.aspx LOL, WTF spanish users with the 32bits ultimate version can't download it :angry: :angry: Are we :alien: ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 LOL, WTF spanish users with the 32bits ultimate version can't download it :angry: :angry: Are we :alien: ? I guess DreamScene requires localization before it's made available, although I don't understand why, as it's just a multimedia thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any know about this? Hye there try google it i already fix mine, i think there is an issue with nero , here is the fix. under c:\program files\common files\ahead\dsfilter\ rename the following two items as follows: nevideo.ax - rename this (for example 1nevideo.ax) nerovideoproc.ax - also rename this one (for example 1nerovideoproc.ax ) reboot. that should fix it. it's not a vista issue but a nero issue.

Guest Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Anyone else getting something like 20% cpu usage with dreamscene on, just idle? I thought it was supposed to be purely gpu driven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted March 16, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2007 Anyone else getting something like 20% cpu usage with dreamscene on, just idle? I thought it was supposed to be purely gpu driven? Only uses up 2% here, it heavely depends on the media type and if the VDDM drivers are optimized enough (video drivers in vista)... WMV files use up a lot more processor usage because of the compression type, MPEG files seem to run more smooth processor speed wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckWEB Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Anyone else getting something like 20% cpu usage with dreamscene on, just idle? I thought it was supposed to be purely gpu driven? I'm having the same problem with x86 Vista, DreamScene take 15-25% of CPU juice. And I also found that when using Media Player in full screen, I get some background flicker of my dreamscene... Weird thing is, even if I turn OFF DS, I still get the flicker. If I uninstall DS, everything is OK. I'm using the latest nVidia driver on my 7900GT. But current DS is only in "preview" so I'm hoping it's going to be better when it's Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, I reinstalled and updated nero and it fixed it, but I would never have guess it was nero :) .wmv uses a lot more cpu power and most of the work is CPU based right now, so wait for the final to get the good performance for both wmv and mpeg hopfullly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Phreak Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 yeah just installed it, and the option to show dreamscenes is still greyed out on my system - I use Nvida drivers on Geforce 6600 card. has anyone worked how to get it to work? What do you mean greyed out? Do you mean when you're on the desktop with a normal wallpaper and you right click? Or do you mean when you in the actual desktop backgrounds menu selecting it?
