DeskScapes 10 Release Version

Can't!

Wednesday, May 1, 2019 by RedneckDude | Discussion: DeskScapes

Guys, support, I simply just can't run the new DS 10.  My main monitor blurs every time I change a WB skin  primary screen only, the other 2 stay fine.   If I'm not running a Dream, all 3 screens go black when loading a WB.  None of this happened before going to the DS beta 3, then the relese.

 

Honestly, I dunno if it's DS or WB.

We may have found an issue we believed was already resolved.
That said, if you apply a dream, then do a skin apply with WB, likely get a black screen, can you use DS to apply to each monitor individually:

 

Yes, If I open DS config, click apply to monitor 2, it resumes as normal.  The 2 secondaries were already fine.

So, I continue to do this until the next release?

Well, thats is at least a temp work around.  It will get fixed fixed soon, however.  It already was at one point, I tested it and it worked.  Just not sure how it got unfixed. 

Thank you for your help.

Guys. I have disabled DeskScapes. Using windows to apply a wallpaper.  Loading a WB now makes all 3 screens go black wallpaper.

DS doesn't support .mp4. I had to convert them to .avi.

Many of your reported issues are are not clear .

You need to explain in better detail your issue and show 

image SS and or video captures .

In this case what do you mean " previews " not showing ? what previews ? not showing where.

How does this relate to DS10 ?

Please explain from now on fully .

When I start D The only previews I see are for Deskscapes. The video previews (thumbnails) are blank when I switch to my videos which are mp4.

They showed up on my old hard drive. Since my old drive failed, I replaced it with a new hard drive and had to reinstall Win 7 Ultimate x64. Also had to reinstall all programs I had used on the old drive.

Thumbnails showed on my old drive. Small, large etc.

Thumb=Video capture

I hope this helps,

Her is what I'm talking about

 I was able to reproduce what you did , as you can see my previews work just fine ,

When you loaded your folder did you click No on sub folders .

Also try changing settings to Direct Show and Max Like my screenshots below 

DO NOT CLICK ON DISABLE DESKSCAPES

IN SETTINGS MUST BE ENABLED.

If you get no preview on video files it usually means you lack video decoders for those files.

Does explorer show a preview image if you go to that folder?

Ok, guys. I'm having issues again with some dreams, like Hexican Wave, for example, loads, then locks up in 10 seconds or so. It seems if it's not black screens, it's locked up dreams, or just plain not loading.

Come on. does no one care that there is still a problem?

See reply #50, please. This has only happened with the latest version.

I have done everything suggested. How many times must I uninstall, purge, and reinstall? My count is at least 6.

Please help. I'm running Win 7 Ultimate. The videos I'm using are mp4. Worked in the betas but not now.

Have you done a clean boot?
