Jimmy422 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I know there's a hack to get Dreamscene into 7 but i heard it also doesn't work very well. Are there any free alternatives? It's a cool feature to play videos on the desktop and i'm a little sad MS didn't keep it.

9UnknownMen Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 VLC has a video wallpaper setting. Crude but effective. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/805182-dreamscene-alternatives-for-windows-7/#findComment-591364746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy422 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 What happens then when you open the program? "Windows is searching for DreamRender.exe. To locate the file yourself, click Browse."

Mazhar Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 "Windows is searching for DreamRender.exe. To locate the file yourself, click Browse." It seems that there is some problem with the installation. You didn't install it correctly, try installing again. If same error comes then locate the exe file yourself to the directory where DreamRender is installed.

mudslag Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 the win7 slide show feature is rather nice, DS always slowed me down anyway Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/805182-dreamscene-alternatives-for-windows-7/#findComment-591364854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Takahashi Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I prefer the slideshow style wallpaper. It works pretty well for me. Dreamscene tends to somewhat lag up the computer.

ᗪᗴᘂ₮ᗩ Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 As you may or may not know, for an app to accesses some areas of your PC (Just like the programfiles folder) it needs permission, Try right clicking in installer and selecting "run as administrator" and it may work, alternatively ONLY IF RUNNING IT AS ADMIN DIDN'T WORK you can select properties - compatibility - Tick the box saying "Run this program in compatibility mode" then select "windows XP SP2" and try it. Hope this solves your woes. -Delta roughneck.girl 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/805182-dreamscene-alternatives-for-windows-7/#findComment-597379144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
