Still can't get triggred Dreams to run in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

I've tried everything I can think of. Made sure Im using the right windows skin. the latest version of Dreamscape, checked that every desktop enhancement coice is enabled and that the service UxSms is running. Using a 4870x2 ATI PCI-e card and latest driver. Still any triggered dream I get the dreaded mssg that Uxsms is needed for it. Regular dreams run perfectly its just triggered ones that act up. Doubt it makes any diffrence but just in case I am running Vista x64.

I have "Enable Desktop Composition" checked, actually have every option checked hehe Regular dreams run just fine, its only the themes that use transitions, time of day controlled changes such as Denali and Blissful Dream , that give me an error concerning Usxms mssg.

Actually meant to post back, the problem seems to have solved itself must have been a fluke or something as all is working fine now

Reply to Windows 7... anyone? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

Hummm, I'm running Vista x64 and am having an error pop up when ever I try to use a dream that does transisions complaining that service UxSms needs to be running. If I pull up taskmanager and check services it is running. When I run services.msc my service for UxSms is also called "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager". I know several other posters have claimed to have the same problem with the latest version of Deskscape so I wonder if the Win7 fix will also be needed for those of us

I just purchased a subscription with VistaDreams.org which came with your program DreamManager which I really like. However I'm running into a bit of a problem. I installed the program on my Vista x64 system and it ran great. I chose the option to put the icon in my system tray and all seemed fine. Then I had to reboot because of something else. Anyway on reboot I no longer have the tray icon. If I pull up taskmanager i

Humm, I just ran into this bug this morning. I had decided to buy the Blissful dream and everything "seemed" fine. I am using the Areo theme on Vista x64. Anyway my screensaver was running and then all of a sudden the screensaver was interupted and that took me back to my desktop where I had the pop up about the service not running. Launched Services and the service was listed as Automatic and running. Figures all the free Dreams I've used, like the rotating earth Dynamic Th

Reply to AGP drivers.. any new news? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

So will the latest drivers from ATI now allow DeskScapes to run on a system with an ATI/AMD AGP card? I'm in the driver beta program and the last time I gave Deskscape a shot, a while back, it just caused nothing but problems for me and I had to use a sysrestore point to get my computer working right again.

[quote who="Zargon0225" reply="19" id="1944861"] I also just read a post in DeskScapes for XP that suppoet for AGP video cards isn't yet available. Is this true? Correct, here is the long answer. We have been working with the video card manufacturers to improve performance running dreams with low CPU utilization on AGP cards. At this time we have had success obtaining driver updates that perform very well on AGP 8x. These driver updates have n
