The problem I have seen most is that if you didn't uninstall the preview prior to installing the full version, the two would conflict and neither would run. Hopefully this has been addressed.

I installed 2.00.055 late last night on my Compaq PC w/Vista Home Basic-HP-DVD-nVidia 6150SE. First,is there no end to the things that Stardock can do? Amazing stuff! It installed and ran great with whatever codec it's using.I downloaded several dreams and all worked fine. I just tried them again and now two of the dreams(Aurora[1] and Electric Vista[1]) don't fill all of my 17" monitor.It's solid black around the edges,(approx. 2") with the dream centered on screen,but they do run.I'm real sure it wasn't like that when I dl'd and tried them. I can upload a ss but that pretty much describes it.Is there a setting or something I'm missing? Btw, 1024x768 resolution.  

Try checking theh fist and last option on the positioning (at the bottom).

D'OH! +1 for you. That was it.   

And I had a Karma point earlier,did it expire?  

Just installed the DeskScapes 2.00.058 update  and after requested system restart, my currently applied windows blind theme, Stardock Molten is acting up. Now, when i click on the start menu, the animation of the dragon at the top of the screen is blinking white squares on it? I have no deskscape currently applied, and all was fine before update.  So i reapplied a different theme then went back to molten, and like magic it was fixed strange issue, just thought i would let all know.

Wizard1956,

One of the support guys pointed out your reply and concern about the Karma that you thought you might have lost. When you're on a forum, you'll only see karma that was given to you, for posts which are part of the website's forums that you're currently viewing. For example; The Stardock Forums have a category 'Sugar and Candy' and someone gives you karma for a reply on a post in that category. That Karma will show up on the Stardock Forums. But then say you shoot over to the Wincustomize forums and the Wincustomize Forums don't have the 'Sugar and Candy' category. The Wincustomize Forums won't reflect the karma you had recieved for your reply in that category. Now, if both of the forums share that category, then your karma for that reply will show up in both.

There is a method to this madness, and the explanation is much simpler than what I just typed: A user might be extremely helpful on say, the Stardock Forums, and deserves all the karma they can get. However, they might not visit a website like the TweakVista forums at all. So they should have lots of Karma for the Stardock Forums, but very little for the TweakVista forums.

I hope that I cleared this up a little for you. The moral of the story is that Karma will vary from site to site, but rest assured you're not losing any

Thanks for clarifying that. I need all the "good karma" I can get.lol I'm still awestruck by these dreams,great job everyone!    

The one question I have is, I'm currently using Deskscape 1.02 with Windows Vista Ultimate, now since Deskscape 2.0 is out should I purchase and upgrade as it still down Deskscape free for Windows Vista Users when you try to purchase Deskscapes 2.0 ? The one lacking info I don't see in FAQ is what's the main difference's' between Deskscapes 1.02 and Deskscapes 2.0. Thanks   

Bump

You wil also find that Deskscapes is better prepared for SP1 for Vista. There is also another update in the works for this software. No set date yet but it should not be a long wait.

That's great to hear,Seabass. Update 2.00.058 "broke" Deskscapes on my machine. I did a restore to get it back but I'd like to update from 2.00.055 The error was dwm related,said it wasn't running I think. Task man said it was.Someone posted a similar problem elsewhere in these forums. Thanks

I have installed deskscapes on my vista ultimate laptop, from the website, its version 1.02. I am having issues playing dreamscapes. I get the message to purchase deskscapes.(I was under the impression that it was free for ultimate users.)

I have stardock central installed and get a message that my registration is invalid and to purchase one when i go to update deskscapes to the new version (v2.00.058)

What do i need to do to get this working?
