Things are working fine with Windows 7 RTM now that I have beta 1 installed.  I'm glad that DeskScapes will work on Windows 7. 

My apologies for not appearing sooner, since my wife passed away, I've been away from the scene and lost sight of the latest version of Deskscapes. 

Dream Manager relies on the same process that explorer uses when you double click a dream.  Until that is working, Dream Manger won't work.  Once that is working again (or deskscapes gives me an alternative), I can start the process of making it compatible. Until then, It'll have to wait.

Cheers!

masterbaron, you have my deepest sympathies.

Man, MasterBaron, I am so sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do for you? Anything? Man, my prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear that Baron. As for manager as the beta only just came out its not something  you need to be worrying about at this time. My thoughts are with you as I know how a loss like yours can be.

John, sorry to hear about your wife. You have my condolences.

Thanks everyone for you kind comments and support.

my condolences sorry to hear about your wife.

Bug detected on XP SP3:

When rebooting PC, the Dream which was launched is freezing (mean no more effects, just like a simple wallpaper). In same time any window which is opened can't be closed (well it can, but the window is still displaying on screen ...).

The way to fix things is to disable the Dream via DesKScapes and last wallpaper is launched correctly and everything's goes back correctly

I am unclear on what you mean?

Do you mean that happens briefly during shutdown, or the pc gets stuck, or it is like that after a reboot?

It's like that after a reboot   

I cleared out all traces of Deskscapes and reinstalled. Stars stopped crashing and now works, but Desktop Collage still acts up on on the preview.

I thought Deskscapes 3 was vista and win 7 only for now?

nope

I have a DreamMaker Start Menu shortcut but the .exe is missing.
Missing .dream file association. (Double clicking on .dream in windows explorer does not know what program to use)
Occasional problems with fences after applying scenes.
Occasional Explorer crashes when disabling deskscapes.
Once, Scrolling to the right, scrollbar didn't go all the way right before stoping.  Resizing fixed it, haven't had the problem since.  I was able to have the same problem by resizing the window to its minimum width, this was not the case the first time.

Looking good, Thanks!

I bought Deskscape in March, haven't got it working till now.

I get the same errors with 2.9 Beta as with 2.5. When I load up a dream, the background changes to black and the explorer crashes after a few seconds. (Explorer.exe caused a problem... )

The previews work for all dreams I have except the Box Sample (only the background)

I have an AMD X2 6000+ @ 2x3,0GHz, Asus GTX280 OC (--> uses an additional Asus driver to support Asus tools; doesn't seem to cause the problem, because dreams don't work without this driver, too)

Im running Win XP SP3 and hope that I can use this program in the next time

greetings

Edit: After i try to load a dream and the desktop crashed, i get the popup message "Deskscapes does not appear to have been installed correctly. Would you like Deskcape to try to fix this now?", when I try to restore my old background. I can then decide which user account the program shall use and after that get the message "You must relog or reboot your PC before you can use Deskscapes"

I cannot find this beta in the My Software tab, eventhough I have ticked "Show Pre-release versions" in the settings of Impulse. Running Windows 7 RC 32-bit.

If you go to the "My Software" tab and click on deskscape over on the right side what version does it list? Version 3 shows as beta 2.90
