Dreams in XP SPIII
Getting a black Screen whenever i click "apply"
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 by Revanito | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
Hi Friends...
Its (fortunatly!) a while ago since i had to post a problem... NOW: I cry for HELP!
All the time i set Deskscapes as "Wallpaperengine" (i often use simple JPEGs TOO) i get the following error:
- I choose a Dream
- I click "apply"
- The Dream appears... Property-Window is still open
- Now i finaly click "OK" (Properties close now, as you know)
- The Desktop gets BLACK!!!!
I have to repeat theese steps 3 or 4 times... then the Dream stays and don`t disappears.
BUT: Is this what the developer had in mind with XP??? That you have to repeat those steps 4 times???
In VISTA (I run a Dual-Boot-System) everythiong is fine... but in XP... you read what my Prob is.
Specially today... (its the last of the Month, and i got Pocketmoney from Dad)... when i just bought "Desktop-Collage", which is a fine, very fine Dream... i am sad because of this behavior! =o(
Has anybody a Tip how i can fix this??? I run Deskscapes 2.50... so its the latest newest i think.
My System has a Pentium Dualcore 2.0GHz and 2 Gigs RAM... a Nvidia Gforce 9500... so i think its not thaaaat bad, hm?
Please... help a young girl to get happy again.
BIG Thanx from Revany (Revanito)

Hey dear Wiz...
No,No; Ever since i`ve got Deskscapes installed on my XP i have this Prob with having to click 3 till 4 times to get it running constantly!!! I did not asked earlyer cause i thought i get it fixed on my own, but....
This is 4 Month ago, and my Videodrivers are fine and up to date!
The Gforce 9500 does its Job really good when i do 3D-Graphics in VUE or POSER... does Games highly precise with all Features enabled!
AND: It does Deskscapes FINE in Vista!
The same Graphiccard! So i still wonder what it can be!?
It is really boring to sit there and clicking like an Idiot 4 times untill this Soft is running constant!
Nothing against its Author... cause i SEE how smooth it can work... in VISTA!
By the way... if he reads this: The "Desktop Collage"-Dream is soooo beautyful!!! It looks real ellegant how it behaves with my choosen Wallpapers!
Thanx for such fine Tool.
But... if someone has a further Tip to get my Prob fixed... you`re welcome!
I`ll go to bed now...puuuuh; 3:00AM =o(
Greetz, Revanito

Do other video apps run? Did you recently update your drivers? If so,try rolling back to the last known good one.
