Just thought I would update you guys :) I now have the issue resolved, I did another clean install of vista32bit installed catalyst 8.11, then installed the DX9.0c updates, then deskscapes 1.02 and now have most dreams working, including the updated water dream :D The other dynamic dreams won't work, but thats due to not having the 2.0+ version installed ie; it asks to install a newer version to play the content. But anyhoo i'll stick with having water dream back again! <

Neil: Yes I do, however running dxdiag shows that dx 10 is running if that is of any use? And I meant; sfc /scannow :P I don't think it's a stardock/deskscapes problem, rather something to do with my machine... Tried all of the advise from tech support and even a clean/fresh isntall with no luck, as I say the difference from when it worked to the current situation is; Intergrated graphics with my 780g mobo (3200 HD) using Vista Ultimate x64, the other thing is
Sorry, yes it is 1.02. From experience I would say Desktop Earth, Water Dream, Watercolour. only come with a subscription and therefore 2.0 of deskscapes. Which is why I bought it, however as i'm sure everyone is now aware and probably becoming tired of my problem, I cannot get any dynamic dreams to work with 2.0, and the only one that works with 1.02 is the bouncing box, which does not work in 2.0 despite my open ticket and is yet unresolved. sfc /runnow reported no e
When ever I have installed 1.0.2 in the past desktop earth didn't come with it and when trying to use any dynamic dream it reported that I needed to update to a newer version... (Yes installing the correct way, and not using any trial version and using the official link to download it from).
Will the Fix also address 1.0.2, the free version for ultimate users? As currently I keep getting asked to upgrade when trying to use Waterdream with that version. Reason I am using 1.0.2 is due to my sub expiring and won't be able to update the next version...
I am having an issue similar... 1.2 will not allow dynamic dreams to run such as waterdream/desktopearth/watercolour, the ones you get with 2.0, however since my expired sub if I select those dreams in 2.0 they don't run... nothing, just get a black desktop or frozen still image of a previous non dynamic dream. I have tried both 1.2 and 2.0, both play normal dreams without issue, but both will no longer play dynamic dreams having reinstalled on my vista ultimate 64 system, don
So... I dloaded SDCentral/ODT ultimate 2008, after 1st installing SDCentral and then seeing that there are no old sub dloads available to me... such as being able to dload Deskscapes seperately from the 2008 package, I uninstalled and removed all trace. I then installed ODT Ultimate 2008 and when checking Deskscapes the 4 dynamic dreams where there, however they all refuse to load/run no picture, no animations just a freeze frame of what ever dream or background was running be
Do you have to have an active subscription for certain dreams to work? I used to use the vista ultimate version, then upgraded to an ODT subscription in order to use dynamic dreams such as Desktop Earth/Water Dream/Water Colour etc, however the only application I would use with the ODT sub was Deskscapes and nothing more. Now that my sub has expired I thought I would revert back to 1.2 of deskscapes for my new vista ultimate 64 rig, however, the dynamic dreams that I s
Thank you dreamer!! ** erf.. just got an error code 126, dll failed to load..
Ultimate users do get 1.0.2 for free however you HAVE to use 2.0 in order to play dreams such as water.dream, the free ultimate 1.0.2 version does not come with many dreams as standard! Even so with the upgraded 2.0 version I am using, we are currently awaiting an update to fix the dynamic content, if you install the free ultimate version (for vista ultimate users) you do not get water dream or any of the stardock ones as standard, for example: Shark Pool, Grassy Field, Water Dream etc.
Hi there! Been a bit quiet on the dream update, any new info? Cheers.
Hehe... Thanks for the update, Just sorting out a new flat myself and moving in at the end of the month! Don't knacker yourself out Dreamboy, family 1st :)
Any chance of an early Water Dream release please?! *j/k* :) It's my Fav one but it currently does not save the personal background choice :( Dreamer has already helped me out there and stated it will be done in the new update... I guess this is the one! Sounds great anyhoo, good work all you content makers/providers!
Cheers! Thanks to the support team, and dreamer again :) My sub now works again! I will eagerly await the edited Water Dream, checking daily!
Thanks again for the help! My Deskscapes does not work anymore, I have got an open ticket with support, current status = 'open', priority = 'raised' sorry to bother you, as I say I really only use water dream so it would be nice to have it back working on my desktop :)
Is it possible that an older customizable version of water dream has been replaced by a non-customizable version? As I say, all previous versions i have had (or at least one version that has not been updated/replaced before) always enabled me to change the backdrop (though not the cloud image). So as you say, it's not a paid for version (liquid dream) just the free water dream, perhaps stardock decided to change or limit the ability to apply a different background image at some
First of all thanks for all your help, i'm sure you are quite busy and appreciate you looking into things :) Just to let you know my latest testing... I have uninstalled stardock central and object desktop, also deleting folders from c: and also the registry. I have downloaded the free version for 'Vista Ultimate' users and installed it without SD central or Impulse. No water dream present. I have uninstalled deskscapes again using the above method an
Just upgraded and downloaded ODT 2008 having done an account detail lookup from stardock central and had the dload links sent to my email addy, Using impulse to install everything, deskscapes included, The water dream installed is still having the same issues, furthermore a few months ago when updating deskscapes I had a few free stardock created dreams installed with the update including the swimming shark one, however all updates since then do not include this shark one although I do get the w
The slider bars also revert back to default, as soon as I adjust them then click ok - close the settings window then re-click on the dynamic settings button they are back to default. I also have sp1 if that is any use to you and the latest version of deskscapes and tweak vista (these are the only two applications I have chosen to install from my purchased suite) aside from stardock central. Have tried reinstalling deskscapes, but same result. In my opinion the Water dr
I am using the version that came free with my purchased object desktop suite. Have tried using different image files such as: jpeg/bmp most toher dreams seem to run fine, also the older versions of deskscapes would run water dream fine with my choice of backdrop... Still pondering...
Hello! I'm sure it's user error but not sure what I should do to fix my issue at this time. My issue is as follows... Stardock water dream is running on my vista ultimate 32bit machine (which runs fine) except one thing: when changing the background image from 'sand' to anything else, deskscapes or vista does not retain the new image i have selected and always reverts back to sand upon restart/reboot. Have I missed something glaringly obviouse?</
