Dream Stops working
Tuesday, May 13, 2008 by -and92 | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
After I opened something in fullscreen, for exaple Internet Explorer, my dream stops wroking.
It becomes a static wallpaper, and the only thing I can do is to reload it in the personalization window. Even when I press right click, it shows: Pause DreamScene, but it is already "paused". Some dreams work perfectly, some don't (froggy dream for example doesn't works).
Any suggestions?

Just to add my 2 bits, my desktop does the same it freezes but not the laptop and when running full screen the dream does not stop I can see it through the frame on both machines, the battery pause does not work at all but it used too ?

On top of the other problems mentioned above,
(which I also experience on my Laptop)
I notice that when I run PaintShop Pro,
the desktop goes black until I close said PSP.
Then the Dream comes back, but in a frozen state mostly,
and the ONLY way I found to get it running again,
is to click another Dream, and then the Dream I was running,
aka, reload the Dream.
Whereas none of mentioned problems are tragic, they ARE rather annoying.

As for battery pause I have noticed it works with the snow dream only (the one you have to buy)

Not all, but 98% of my dreams are created from mpeg files. When choosing a dream, the mpeg will be extracted to a temp directory and then assigned as wallpaper. The extraction directory is C:\Users\All Users\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData.
If your having issues and it's resolved when assigning the mpeg directly, I would assign the dream and then after it extracts from the dream file, navigate to the extraction directory and assign the mpeg.
