DeskScapes for XP

Hi, everyone, El Dummo here again. Can someone with patience tell me step by step how to apply Dreams to XP? I've already purchased Object Desktop, have dreams downloaded, but when I try to apply them it's a nightmare! They look like someone mangled them, and they never fully load. I'm so disappointed I could just spit! I have Vista on both my laptops and the Dreams run beautifully, but it would be nice to have them on my PC, too. Help? And thanx - Jymmy

what kind of graphics card do you have? Not all cards will handle deskscapes in XP.

If you don't have supported gfx card you can use Drempels or Dreamrender. Both run even with intel chips.

Well, here we go again. I just got a new computer yesterday, factory OS is Vista Business Edition. Problem is, now my Dreams won't run - ArRGHJRjjfh!!! I updated the DreamScene to 2.91, but the only dreams that will play are the ones inside the new thingy from Impulse. The other day I updated the one on my laptop (Vista Ultimate on that one) and it's running fine. I've already torn out most of my hair, and I'm sitting on one hand now to keep from ripping out the rest. Can someone please help me with this? Most likely, it's because I don't know much about what to do to fix things - but take pity on me, k? Thanks.

Windows Vista Users

Windows Vista Business does not come with a MPEG2 decoder unlike Home Premium or Ultimate edition.

If you have any DVD sofware around it may well install a suitable decoder, though if your OS is 64 bit I should warn you that most DVD software only has 32 bit decoders which are not suitable for Deskscapes when on a 32 bit OS.
