Mike, veriify that DeskScapes in installed correctly using Impulse.
No Dreams work?
I don't remember if DeskScapes 3 is beta or not. You could try unclicking 'show bets' in Impulse Preferences and see if that brings back the older version.

It would suggest Deskscapes is having problems with that particular dream.
What happens if you locate another .dream file on your PC and double click it. Does the UI then work?

Problem Fixed for Now ...
I deleted one dream that was in C:Drive the rest of the dreams were
in shortcut to another drive - then did sytem restore and when it restored
deskscapes 3 is there and working OK now - So I don't know if it was that
one dream delete or sytem restore that fixed it , but it now works ...
