QUESTION:
I finally got around to installing the DreamScene moving screensaver on my Vista Ultimate, but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? I used Windows Update to install it and it looked like it installed.
ANSWER:
DreamScene actually gives you animated desktop wallpaper, rather than a screensaver. If you've installed the DreamScene application, you may need to then enable it. Perform these steps:
- Click Start Control Panel and then Programs, Programs and Features
- Select "Turn Windows features on or off"
- Scroll down to Windows Ultimate Extras and put a checkmark in the box labeled "Windows DreamScene"
- Wait while the progress bar tells you that the feature is being configured
- Reboot the computer
Now when you right click the desktop and select Personalize, under "Choose a desktop background," you should "Windows DreamScene Content" in the menu, so you can select a video to use for your wallpaper. Be forewarned that DreamScene may take up a lot of resources on low powered computers, but if you have the resources to run it, it is very cool looking.
