Stardock DeskScapes: How to Install and Use DeskScapes
Quick tutorial to get DeskScapes Up and Running!
Wednesday, February 14, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
With the release of Stardock DeskScapes I wanted to give a brief tour on how to get it installed and running on your system. DeskScapes previously required Windows DreamScene and Vista Ultimate only to use, but DeskScapes 2.0 will allow any Vista version (that supports Aero) to run animated wallpapers. Subscribers to Object Desktop now have early access tot he DeskScapes 2.0 beta.
If you are a Object Desktop subscriber, you can download DeskScapes through Stardock Central, along with some exclusive .dreams. If not, and if you are a Vista Ultimate user, head over to Dream.WinCustomize.Com and download the DeskScapes application (free). Oh wait, you might want some extra Dreams so check out the Dream gallery and pick up a few more while you are at it. Now we should be all set.
-
Right-click desktop and select "Personalize".
-
Select "Desktop Background"
-
Click the picture location drop-down and select "DeskScapes Animated Wallpaper"
 |
 |
Now you should see a list of Dreams that are available.
When you click each file the animated wallpaper should appear on your desktop,
once you have selected the one you want to use just click OK. If you have
downloaded other .dreams or would like to use your own video or .dream creation,
then simply drag the file into the window.
If you need to pause the wallpaper then just right-click the
desktop and select "pause", and then click "play" when ready to resume playing.
Dream Maker will let
you easily create your own animated wallpapers in the .dream format in which you
will be able to share with other people. Be sure to check out the guided tour of
DeskScapes, and visit Dream.Wincustomize.Com for more information and downloads.

No you do not need Dream Maker to run the Dreams.

When I try to instal Stardock DeskScapes I get this error message "Could not write file, your disk may be full". It is not, I have 15 Gb free HD space. I run WV ultimate on a Dv1000 HP Pavillion with 1.5 Gb Ram.
Any toughts on what may be causing this problem?
Thanks

This is because Microsoft provided funding for Vista Ultimate users as part of the Ultimate Extras for them to run it for free. Other users did not pay Microsoft the premium for Windows Vista Ultimate so for users of Vista other than Ultimate there is a cost.
