Weird problem with DeskScapes

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 by D3thKn1ght | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers

I just downloaded the trail version of DeskScapes just to give it a shot and see what it's like. I got to say it's a very nice program, much better then DreamScene. I am however having a small problem with it. I have two users in my computer. On one user (the one that was logged in to when I originally installed DeskScapes) I can see all the animated wallpapers I have installed and whenever I select one everything works fine. However when I switch to the other user and try to use DeskScapes with that one none of my animated wallpapers show up at all. About the only thing I can do is add effects to my currently existing non-animated wallpaper. Even when I try to re-install one with the user logged in nothing shows up. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? Thanks.

 

PS: I'm using Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate. Thanks again.

Try copying the contents of the My Documents\Stardock folder of the user profile you installed it under to the All Users documents directory.

Excellent. I actually wound up just copying it from one users documents to the other rather then putting it in the public users directory and it worked. Thank you very much for you help!

That will work as well as long as you don't mind having 2 copies of each dream.
