Deskscapes windows 10
decoder error message
Tuesday, February 16, 2016 by louisebate88 | Discussion: Beginners
Hi there everyone
This is such an awesome site and I'm loving the pics here, I'm however experiencing a little problem regarding the Desksapes program, whenever I launch the program it gives me this message numerous times
"Unfortunately Microsoft decided to remove MPEG-2 decoders from windows 8 and without purchasing the Microsoft decoder or installing a third party decoder you cannot play this dream.
If you have done this and still get this message then the dream may be an unusual video resolution and it is not suitable on windows 8.
Would you like to visit our website for more information?"
Ok so I'm running Windows 10 and I have downloaded a third party decoder, but the message wont go away, although the above message keeps popping up the the dream does actually work so there is no need for this message to keep coming up all the time, so to cut a long story short, is there any way of preventing the message from popping up?
Thanks guys

The older dreams used the Mpeg-2 codec
The newer dreams the last few years don't use the Mpeg-2 anymore ..
The newer ones should work without problems
Your computer make-up of course can be the source of some problems

Maybe try deleting Deskscapes Reboot then Re-Install
Make sure you have a codec pack that includes
the Mpeg-2 codec
K Lite Full / Mega should work
I'm using Win 10 with K Lite Full
Never got the warning screen your getting
