Do Dream Files work with current Preview from Microsoft?

Can't get Dream Files to install from the Dream Gallery

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 by Dream King | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers

I got the DreamScene Preview currently available for us Ultimate users. I downloaded the Dream files from dream.wincustomize.com. When I got to "Control Panel>Personalization>Desktop Background" and browse to the .Dream files, it won't accept them as valid content.
Although it does look like it accepts mpeg content.
Also, how do you run Deskscapes? It's not added to my Program Files list and I don't see anywhere within Stardock Central to launch it.
Thanks,
Dream King

Mine doesnt work either. I installed deskscapes but when i click on the .dream file it doesn't preview anything, just pauses my current desktop video.

Any ideas? could it be my integrated video card?

I have been having the same "Windows DreamScene has encountered an error :The video file is not supported,or there was an error decoding this video file" error. Has anyone found the solution to fix this? (running a radeon 9800 pro)

I got the same error before and after I installed DeskScapes. I can run a .wmv file fine.. Its the mpeg's that give the error, (such as the one that comes with dreamscene, as well as a *.Dream file.)

How do I remove Vista Codecs Pack 4.2.7? I figure this might be the cause of the .dream files not working.
