I'm sorry for being stupid but what do you mean by "verify" Deskscapes? If I go to the my software tab it shows I have the most recent but I dont see any way to run some sort of check on my current install. Edit: Okay I read the help and double checked. I am running the beta of Impulse on my Win7 x64 system so my display doesn't look exactly the same as the tile example in the help file but anyway when I right click on "Dreamscape (installed)" tile in the My Software tab I do not

Well a couple things. First off I am using an Aero Theme. Also the dreams themselves run fine, its just the config app thats crashing. I can select "Configure DeskScape" by right clicking the desk top. The app open and shows the current dream. most times I can select another dream and the preview will update and I can sometimes even apply the dream that way. If I dont try to apply the dream but then click on another dream in the config app then it crashes. Whatever current dream is set contin

Well Shark just released an updated codec package. Installed it in hopes that could be the issue but no luck. Wonder if it could have anything to do with the ne vid enhancement features ATI added with the latest drivers. Otherwise I'm at a los as to what to do/try.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="2658484"]Did you install any codec packs? Also did you recently upgrade your video drivers? [/quote] Okay I do use Sharks codec packages, have been for years and they always worked fine with Stardock. Initially with shark installed and AMD 10.5s I had no issues to speak of with the last betas. Upgraded the Deskscape app to 3.2 and a day later my graphics drivers to the newest AMD 10.6's that came out just this past wee

I don't really know whats happening. Up thru the last beta's I could use the config option and cycle thru all my dreams and select them no problem. Now with 3.2 installed I would say 50% of the time as soon as I click on a new dream the app crashes. The rest of the time I can select a new dream and apply it and then as soon as I try to click on another dream in the configuration app I get a crash. This is on a fully updated Win7 x64 I-7 system with 12 gigs installed. Sapphire 5970 OC and AMD

Oh, I was getting this as well as nabbing another year on my Object Desktop sub while it was on sale. I just figured would ask before I hit the buy button if there might of been any coupons in the last cpl newsletters to save any more. Sometimes, but not all the time, the ISP's spam filter ends up snagging the Wincustomize and stardock news letters and seperating them to a different "quarentine folder" & I have to go search even though I've marked both senders as

Wow, thanks for the fast response. Hate to ask but living on $650 disability things are a bit tight but I wanna stay loyal. Are there any codes out I missed in my monthly emails to save a tiny bit more before I order? If not I understand but you can't blame me for asking, the way things are these days :)

Okay, well I'm heading to the doctor so hopefully this will be answered when I get home. I was planning on going ahead and bying the ObDoc 2.0 upgrade and will do the renewal at the same time once home since its a better deal. Anyway it should be a simple process of adding both to cart, pay, and then my desktop sub should update itself next time I launch impulse correct? Just want to make sure I do things right. Also, someone else mentioned sometimes there are stardock coupons. If I come acro

Okay, when Win 7 x64 was first released I gave tweak7 a shot but for some reason it got real hinky. Ended up havingto sysrestore to get back functioning OS. Anyway I'm assuming by now that any such problems are few and far between but would appreciate some confirmation before I give it a shot again. Cheers J

Anyway when I was checking to see if my registraition code for OD Plus was in I saw there was also a listing for OD Plus 2 but couldn't find anything on the site about it or upgrading to it. Did I miss something or am I blind? Thanks Dh, nm I found the link for the beta, hehe

I'm trying to figure out how best to convert some 1280x720 HD vid's I have for use with DreamScene 3. I have several HD video's but they are currently in mp4 format which apparently the Dreamscene browser doesn't like. Which format would be best for converting my HD mp4's to, regular mpg or a wmv format?

Ahhh, silly me I forgot with Dreams I had that option. I was afraid I'd have to re=encode/crop them so they fit right on my monitor hehe. EDIT: One last thing. what format do they need to be in? Currently they are MP4's which don't show up in the Dream program when I browse the folder.

Okay I have a couple mp4's that the author gave me to use for dreams. The problem I have tho is that the videos are 1280x720 so on my wide screen monitor running at 1920x1200 so when I run the vids full screen there is a small black bar at the top and bottom. Since these are RW images I don't want to "stretch them to fill the screen so how best can I crop the images so the fill the screen without the bars? I would appreciate any advice.

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.
