Windows 7... anyone?
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 by Smaky | Discussion: DeskScapes
I have just tried Deskapes under Windows 7 (64 bits) unfortunately all I got was a dialog stating that Desktop Windows Manager is not running.... tried to find it in Administrative Tools->Services but it seems the process was renamed or otherwise replaced by something else in Windows 7... so, no Dreams... snif... snif.
Is this only me?

If you look at my post #13 you will see I did all of that. I'll send a report to support but last time I just got no reply 
To Carguy1: Denali is one of the ones that fails for me. I'll give it another shot today and leave it running all day but am not holding out hope 
By the way Carguy, I have your gallery especially bookmarked as I LOVE your work,hehe

Okay I give up LOL. for the longest time Triggered dreams wouldn't work for me period. Then the other day I noticed over on MSDN that the official release version of SP2 for Vista was out so I dl and installed it. Anyway now when I use a triggered dream they work just fine. Have no idea what the problem was, maybe I had a hinky file or something in the SP2 fixed a file but now they work so I'm going to go hide LOL.

*slaps head* missed that, sorry. What was the support ticket number? I'll look into it. Everything still working after installing SP2?

Actually it appears it was SP2 that fixed the problem, at least for me. Denali worked fine yesterday and now am running anothor dream that used to give me the issue "BlissfullDream" and will post back once its time for it to change. <keeping my fingers crossed>

Well Blissfull dream is working fine as well. No idea what in SP2 fixed things but its definitly my suspicion that it was something in it that resulted in the fix as untill I installed that anything that used transitions would fail

Any idea on an ETA for a beta win 7 compatible version. I don't mind waiting but at the same time can't help but hope

Nope. Probably as quickly as the final release for sale OS goes on market.
It's really exasperating seeing this post (and all the almost identical ones to it) when one looks at the Forums...and there's one EVERYday.

Well maybe it's exasperating... but the same goes for us. If only OD wold have a clearer product path then maybe we would stop asking all the time... just take a look at ObjectDock it's been two years since the last update... not even betas! And when I have asked... all I get is a "yes" there will be a version... sometime.
I mean no harm... I really love OD products, I have brought OD+ and an Object Desktop subscription (and renewed it) but still I think that OD product roadmap is never clear.

Oh so sorry for exaperating you. Maybe if you didn't bother to read this thread then it wouldn't bother you now would it? Face it, with a thread title like this one has "Windows 7... anyone?" what did you expect to read about in it. Just made sense to ask here instead of starting new threads since Shirley is actually paticipating in the thread and would probably know best.

Yep I saw it a couple of days ago... it's like my faith is comming back. Shame on me!

Jess McGuay... just noticed that you've worked out your triggered dream problem. 
Reply #36 Monday, June 8, 2009 7:53 PM
Yeah it got fixed. Sadly tho, at least for now I'm only running Win 7 and haven't figured a way to use dreams with it, Waah
But I'm still grabbing everything you put out in hopes LOL

The beta for WindowBlinds 7 has been released, and the other Win 7 versions should be soon to follow. They're coming, just not here yet.

Good news and I'll keep an eye out! Dreams are one thing alot of ppl beta testing Win7 really miss from posts I've read on technet etc.

Been testing Windowsblinds Beta for a couple of days... looking good. Thanks SD!

Now that Windows 7 has a release date can we expect maybe at least a beta?
