[starforce]

Step 1.

Download this executable file.:

Deposit Files (http://depositfiles.com/files/mk0dhj354And)

run it. It’ll add all the relevant registry and context items needed to get DreamScene working.

Step 2.

Head over here to find a great selection of DreamScene wallpapers to distract you!

Step 3.

Navigate to C:\Windows\Web (%windir%\web) and you’ll notice that a Windows DreamScene folder has been created for you. Download your DreamScene wallpapers to here and you can then apply then by right clicking them and choosing Set as Desktop Background. (Once you’ve done this, the folder will be added to your Personalization – Background drop down list).

Known Issue.

It has sometimes been known that all desktop icon names will disappear, or become almost unreadable after installing DreamScene in this manner. To rectify this issue, uninstall Dreamscene as stated above.
If you only have the Recycle Bin on the desktop you can always right click the bin, click rename and then hold down Alt, type 0160 & hit enter. This will make the name disappear. ;)

[Sazzy]

Yeah, I just tried it in 7 and it's gross.
Not to mention 7% CPU causing more fan noise >:( *removes*

[hellman]

It's actually the fisrt time I hear about this.It's a just a video played instead of wallpaper.Useless plus resource consuming.

i can't really say useless coz it enhances your desktop and gives ue desktop a ultimate look only in windows vista ..though i agree it is resource consuming soft..

check out demonoid u'll find packs of dreamscene vids and they r actually cool man:top:

I don't think microsoft implemented this with the idea of running this on machines that need every little bit of their resources :lol: Doesn't really matter on newer machines though. Unless maybe when you're rendering or playing games. But it has a useful pause function for those.

It is useless though. It seemed cool but after toying with it for a bit it became quite clear, quite fast, that you srsly don't look at your wallpaper all that often and when you do, MOST dreamscenes I've found are far too active to use. Even more of a resource waste if they hardly move xP

Though it's still useless.

nice nice. i used dreamscene under vistas for a short time, it lacked of good background videos and on websites there were often only garbage videos. 1080p vids were choppy on my system.
is this method stable?
