What is dreamscene?

Windows vista , the new operating software Microsoft offer, has many different features but the one that most interested me was the ability to have moving, video wallpaper on your desktop. In a sense that's what vista dreams are all about. Since the very early Window versions, static wallpaper has been the norm but with new technology and increasingly better performing computers, vista dreams are set to change things.

Originally this feature was only available for those who forked out for the best version, windows ultimate, but this is no longer the case. Stardock, who produces the software that allows these dreams to run on your desktop, are due to release their updated software in feburary 2008 which allows all vista users to now run these dreams on their computer. At the present time only Vista Ultimate users can use the software.

This section will tell you how to change your static wallpaper for a moving vista dream wallpaper, it couldn't be easier. ( please note that the software update of Dreamscapes that allows all versions of vista to run these dreams is not yet available, it is due for a februray 2008 release. At the moment only Vista Ultimate user can use this software.)

  1. First of all you need to ensure that you have installed Dreamscene from Ultimate Extras in Windows Update. If not click the start orb, type ‘Windows Ultimate Extras' in the start menu search box, hit enter, click the link that says ‘View Available Extras' under the light blue header, click the checkmark into the box near the line that says ‘Windows Dreamscene', click the install button at the bottom, and when it is done installing click the restart button.

A pity that XP used to be able to run animated wallpapers as well.. given, not movie files but it could use an animated .gif which allows for a moving background. Suddeningly vista comes out, doesn't support this anymore and IF you get their high end version of windows, you could use a program that costs money to set a movie loop as a background...

Awesome progress [/sarcasm]

using GIF as wallpaper is allowed in windows XP, but it will actually slows down your computer, so most people won;t do this... afterall you just get to see the gif only when your screen are at desktop.. not running programs
